by Mark Weinrich

Awaken me 
with the anointing
of dew, like a flower, 
petals beaded
shimmering
with dawn’s
iridescence.

May the nectar 
of my imagination
rise and startle
this morning with 
sweetness, that
all who visit
whether readers,
hummingbirds,
butterflies, or bees,
may revel
in tasting
this day
unfolding
with You.

“O taste and see that the
Lord is good…” Psalm 34:8
