flight of the butterfly, rising free
Smoke drifts lazily from the embers
As we gaze at the starlit night sky
Full moon's rays light your form
Breath stolen once again....
Today, the rains will fall. They will wash away
the dust and pollen and dirt
of yesterday. Today, our love will be tested;
the universe wants to ensure we are readied,
Glorious heavenly Father,
Flood me with your light
So that I might be
A kind and loving beacon
Pleasing, each moment, to you
Only in your presence
Can I act according to your will
Pull me closer, dear Father
Soothe my heart and mind
Let all darkness flee
Fear and discord and strife
Heal me each new moment
Let me live a radiant life
Lead each step I take
Give me the words to speak
Let me be your loving beacon
Child of endless grace
Amen
