In the Blink


from the ABC set POETRY - A Passage of Motion 2

of morning light,
tired muscles yoked
now stretch, modified from lazy
sleep to fighting trim,
reaching
out to assail
the prize, to capture
a moment, singing new life
heaping praise
on today’s beginning, its
promise.

I liked this very much. Though there are times in this tired life when we would love to spring out so positively, but need prayer for strength to persevere – ?

Thank you R, for your kind comment. Yes, prayer is the foundation of our strength. My wife and I had a lovely church service on Sunday with the arrival of six Inuit, formerly called Eskimos. What positive, hard working individuals. Such an inspiration. Keep writing your best. Richard LP
