MORNING GLORY
Pearlescent throats to dawn's notes
tuned, the Day Star they await;
rapturous unfurl their petal skirts,
swathes of earthly Milky Way.
Nacreous trumpets herald morning's
advent, a new day's rident lay;
lustrous bells twirl in His light,
their swansong to chant ere midday.
Butterflies, hummingbirds, gather in
praise, on shimmering salvers rest;
floral dainties gaily savour,
to Nature's vagaries attest.
Showers of gold fill opal chalices,
amber wreathes silvern rims;
still they drink, for life athirst,
its splendour, alas, soon to dim.
All His light they desire, as though
to contain his fiery sphere;
his radiance in hearts enclose,
for to sustain when death be near.
