Morning Stillness

The cup of coffee in my hand
Warms me
As I quietly move into the day

The sun peers into the window
Seeking my companionship
Dancing in streaks across the floor

The silence envelopes me
In a comforting embrace
Allowing my thoughts to assemble and gain clarity

I sit and reflect upon Your majesty
My heart soars in adoration
As I find solace under Your wings

Your Word then
Becomes a lamp and a guide
Opening to me the vista of possiblities ahead

I smile within myself
Because I know
I'll run with glee down Your path

I sip
And consider
Your wonderful ways

As the cup warms me
The sun dances for me
The silence embraces me
