Morning Hymn

Meg Hutchinson

Never the less - always the more



Love offered, love's in store



Right here - Not after or before



This blue-grey hour, before the day is born



Under this skin - Between these lungs



We're all made of, risks and revelations



Early morning, the world is calm



We're all these webs of light,



In here woven



Nothing has to be lost



And everything stands to be gained



We could live our lives towards some possible pain



But why not be here today?







And of all these thousand things



None were mine to begin with



For instance the sun



A thousand wings rising



For instance the sun



You loped in - From such a long long distance



And I know, you could lope off again



But steady now, we begin



Crawl from our dark hollow



Towards this bright season
