wooing…
Have you ever noticed that sunrise
is gradual, not immediate like those
motivational help-selfers who insist we
get up and quickly turn on the lights
to reset our circadian rhythms?
Dawn is a turtled peeking over the covers,
an easy, creeping warm upon the land,
a slow stretching of new mercies.
Maybe we don’t need motivation but wooing –
a nice-and-easy as to the possible:
hey good looking, how’s about cooking
something up with me?
This is a beautifully written verse descriptive of how I view my Abba’s approach to me. He is always so gentle, allowing me all the time I need at that moment to adjust my spiritual eyes to His illuminate presence.
Thank you for articulating this so well for me!
Thanks for stopping by, Jim…have a beautiful day!
Ahhhh… a sweet comfort to the mind and a slow, easy breath in the bosom. Thanks John.
Such slow mornings beg for coffee with kindreds…maybe soon, my friend…maybe soon.
the dawning of affection
a flicker growing warmer
wooing the heart
to come on out and play
