No More Morning Tears


Lord, I watched a small flower
today, hidden behind the leaves,
blush and tremble in the wind,
ducking its head while struggling 
to shed two last dewdrop tears. 

What a night you must have had,
I want to say, but leave all morning greetings
to You, Lord, for I know that it’s only Your voice 
that flower longs to hear, Your whisper,
riding at a gallop along the sunrise, 
and piercing the shadows of the night. 

Your voice, Lord, saying,
“Good morning, little one.”
