Morning Psalm from Elk Ridge

Morning Psalm from Elk Ridge

God, I awake to your morning light
And to the sounds of your creation;
The call of the loon in the mists,
The siren calls of the gulls.  Above,
Insects hum in my leafy roof   
Seeking the nectar of opening buds.
Already squirrels scold my presence
Waiting to raid my table.
You have kept me safely through the night
And I begin my day with you.
Today I will rest in your creation.
Feed my spirit with the joy of your presence,
With joy and rest, nourish me.
