New Dawn
Like water eroding rock
You are weathered, humbled and reduced
By life’s unending toil.
Your vision clay is fired and transformed
In the furnace of reality.
In your depths you know you are being tested
But what is the test?
Who the tester?
Then one day, you wake to a new dawn.
One alive with promise
After years in the wilderness
You are finally delivered.
Remember the source of you vision,
The nurturer, inspirer,
Granter of courage,
The quiet and patient guide.
How often have you doubted the Helper?
When the way was not easy
You lost trust or forgot your purpose –
Wished for a simpler life.
Now here you stand
On the threshold of the Promised Land –
Praise be to the Helper
The quiet and patient guide.
