morning invocation
today the world is sweet
my eyes can and do open
hands clasp
tongue speaks
lips smile
I inhale the breath of trees
and exhale desert wildflowers
blooming at the slightest sign of rain
here we are
all having hit the jackpot
here on this same swirled sphere
together at this very moment
we draw breath
and open to hear the universe call out
a way to ease pain today
and we will
