I've been There

In one of the psalms I read that: 

I will rise and waken the dawn

Is it really possible to do this; 

can I, really,  urge the morning along?

Can I rise up so early that I can say that: 

I  have welcomed the morning star

Or, will I simply waken to realize that:

 such an ambition is going too far>


The time has come for a pondering: 

for a considering of all my ways

Before I can  embrace the daylight;

 I should lift up my heart in praise

With all of the creatures of the universe;

 and with all of the land and sea

Become a song of  heartfelt gratitude

 for the One who gives so lavishly


It isn't , so hard to do this;

 and  it isn't, really,  so hard to  start;

But, I'll have to set aside some  moments,

and be ready to open my  heart.

I will have to open up some spaces

 and  I will  have to prepare my mind and will

So that Eternal Immortal;

 can share   this Heavenly Meal


Then. once, I'm nourished with this manna: 

 this food, the angels, all, know

I can embrace each hour and each second

  no matter how fast or slow

I can approach  each person around me 

with a loveness so pure and  Divine 

That they'll know for a sure, I've been there:

a visitor toGod's transforming shrine
