Arise oh sun!
Shine your healing light upon the earth
The trees, the flowers
My porch

Creep upward
Your oranges, pinks, and reds
To fill the limitless sky
With hope for a new day

Bring with you renewal
Mind, body, spirit
Free and cleansed
Of the darkness
Reluctant to give way to the light

Find me
Clear-minded
Open-hearted
And strong of will

Prepare me for the troubling days to come
