minimalist morning prayer

the sky is brightening
from black to deep blue to red
tinges of sunlight around the edges
unfamiliar birds are flying in a V
from left to right

some mornings
a couple of short phrases of prayer
not spoken but breathed
are all that's needed

it's enough

my soul inhales the silence
and exhales remaining cares
finding God's attentive stillness
in the spaces of the sky
