May the morning light
drift over you
gentle as
golden silk
May your eyes open
on hope:
a green seedling,
an opening flower,
soft in the
morning light.
May your ears catch
a tumble of birdsong,
a whisper of breath,
in the morning quiet.
May morning enter
your ears, your eyes,
your heart,
filling your day
with the colour
of peace,
the peace of colour.
May your hands reach
into the light,
and fill themselves
with warmth.
May you taste the
tang
of this new day,
May you smell the clean
scent
of a new
beginning.
May your first thoughts
be full
of compassion
your first words
full of joy
and love.

Light, delicate and Irish! May your poems continue to delight us! Reminded me of my favourite song by John Martyn:
‘May you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold’.
