The Sun Rises Like a Morning Prayer

 My Red Scarf by Fussel 2112 (photomanipulation from www.deviantart.com)

The Sun,

a morning prayer of thankfulness,

rises from beneath the mountains toward heaven,

to kiss a cloud-tossed sky

and press its warm and golden mouth

to the Beloved’s cheek--one more blessed day.

--Noelle Renee Clearwater  (2010)
