Prayer of Cycles
In the light of every new day:
We are reminded,
of the dawning of new light
in our hearts.
We are reminded of
cycles of renewal,
cycles of light,
cycles of dark.
We are reminded,
that after every dark,
comes light,
that after every light,
comes dark.
Surely these cycles,
must be of the Creator.
Our hearts weep when
in the dark.
Our hearts rejoice,
when in the light.
Is our happiness dependent upon,
the light,
the dark,
or of acceptance
of the Creator's ways?
Let us raise our hearts
in appreciation and prayer,
of all cycles,
of dark and light.
The dark as the blessing,
the teacher,
which brings us to light.
The light as the reward,
the motivation,
to learn,
to grow,
to expand,
to know God,
in the human experience.
Amen, Selah, Om, Namaste, Praise be to Allah.
