Prayer blooms

Wait.
As the hibiscus unfurls 
in the morning warmth,
thought abiding in God’s love
will blossom. 

The bud of yesterday’s prayer
is ready for today’s sun of Soul,
and easily opens 
to inspiration.
We know that
the glory of Spirit
cannot be outshone,
for darkness does not shine.  

Wait.
Here, Love designs the day
where prayer blooms
into the flower of
perfect wholeness.
