Before the Light Dawns

 

Before the Light Dawns

Before the light dawns
I am awakened with questions fused to my heart.
Sometimes answers seem to beguile me
betwixt dreaming and waking.
But You are there with my questions
O Lord.
Along with the steadfast rising of our 
neighborhood star,
Your creation sets me to wonder,
beauty close and far.
You dwell in the cosmos and in 
every breath I breathe,
Gifted with glimpses in Your golden light
Praise Thee.
