A Meditational Piece for Piano
Hello, sun in my face. Hello, you who make the morning and spread it over the fields and into the faces ofthe tulips and the nodding morning glories, and into the windows of, even, the miserable and crotchety– best preacher that ever was,
dear star, that just happens
to be where you are in the universe
to keep us from ever-darkness,
to ease us with warm touching,
to hold us in the great hands of light – good morning, good morning, good morning.
Watch, now, how I start the day in happiness, in kindness.
- Mary Oliver-
