Morning Astonishment

Ingrid Oliphant

There's a thing that happens

when every morning

starts as an astonishment


That what was borne

of magmic labor

is right in front of you


Pushed into view

held steady

eons offering proof

that awe is never far


Is a foundation for more

a blessing for the eyes and heart

a tool to carry the prayer

a vision of stillness and strength

that says, 'sit now'

Be still and Know.
