The Blessing Of The Morning Light

David Whyte

The blessing of the morning light to you,

may it find you even in your invisible

appearances, may you be seen to have risen

from some other place you know and have known

in the darkness and that that carries all you need.

May you see what is hidden in you

as a place of hospitality and shadowed shelter,

may what is hidden in you become your gift to give:

may you hold that shadow to the light

and the silence of that shelter to the word of the light,

may you join every previous disappearance

with this new appearance, this new morning,

this being seen again, new and newly alive.
