Welcoming

May you rise gentle in your morning,
nothing needed, nothing forced,
just the grace of your arriving
in the place prepared for you
for a thousand, thousand years,
by the light that's always present
in your heart and in your life
there to greet your secret sweetness,
there to hold you,
there to love.
