Paint me the morning
I want it all
The colors, the newness, the promise
Streak the sky with my desires
Fill my waking eyes with peace
Clothe me in my needed reassurance
Let me breathe in strength
Open my heavy lids to the warmth of a sunrise
I am here, ready and waiting
Arms tingling with anticipation for this next wonder
Just once, may it be for me
