What if there were a prayer
like an incantation,
one to be recited,
or sung—if you could carry a tune—
echoing around the world
like the wood pigeon’s call,
five notes radiating
as light rays fill the sky
announcing: “Morning has arrived”.
What if, I ask, because I wonder
what might bloom in our hearts
if we held five words
to lift us into the dawn—
could they luminate our path
through starless nights
of change, surprise, and dread
where daily news suspends us
in silent, trembling pause?
Focus. Sing out. A clear message.
One that says:
Lift your hearts today.
Let love be your guide.
My joy illuminates.
Could we, in unison,
each in our own language of hope,
sing until certainty rises
that dawn has arrived,
and all are bathed in new light.
Could we sing together
and dispel the darkness
that seeps through shadowed corners,
permeating rooms of despair?
Could we try?
There lies hope:
Our one honest prayer of life.
Together we could light
the universe.

My pleasure Janis ❤️
‘Let love be your guide’ resonates with me, simple mantra but reassuring and poweful. 🙏
Beautiful, Twyla. Reassuring, powerful, and at times it is so difficult to guide ourselves back into our hearts. 💕
Janis, I really enjoy how you weave hope and unity throughout this piece. Your imagery is beautifully uplifting.
Much love,

David, a heart full thank you for your comment and appreciation. This migration has been a real challenge and my biggest concern is loosing my connections to you and all I subscriber to and who subscribe to me. There are still some tweaks in that area but this post has given me an affirmation toward this much valued connection.
Love,
Janis
