Thought
Watch with every vigilance
Let sleep and dreams slip away
Listen to night’s echoed silence
As each breath in offerings pray
Watch with every vigilance
Feel how sunlight grace descends
Closer than the breath this instance
Rapture soaring high ascends
Watch with every vigilance
Waste not moments come afresh
See blessings filled in every sense
In thinking mind and outer flesh
Watch with every vigilance
Singing praise to live pulsation
Each cell throbbing by its presence
Obeisance to its own foundation
Prayer
Lord, I watch and pray with thee. I look at thee as you look on me and love flows. Grant that I may waste no time in sorrow forgetting thy constant loving gaze. I offer words, smiles and tears that I may hear thy voice and see thy face.
