~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wings of the Dawn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My spirit buoys
on wings of the dawn
Rising higher
as morning progresses
Dross of darkness
burned off in solar fire
Burdens dropped to depths below
I’m lifted up
renewed and reaching
heights of hope
Feather light with joy
and potential
You’ve given me
this sunrise
and another moment
in time to enjoy
I give You my day
forever
to guide
my soaring heart
to seek your Light
as I go about
Your way.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
Psalm 139:9-10
Ian and I took off to the beach on a chilly morning with our hot coffee and cameras. Within 8 minutes we were there just in time to capture some special morning moments with just the two of us, the birds, and our Creator…

PS – The first time that I remember reading Psalm 139:9 was when I was flying in a very small airplane that I had to board at dawn. It was taking me to a small remote island on the northern coast of BC. Ian had started a position as the hospital business manager and computer systems person and had gone up 10 days prior, while I packed up our stuff and rented out our home. It was the first time I had left my hometown of semi-arid Kamloops. It truly felt like I was heading to the outermost parts of the sea… When I pondered the words of these verses… peace and joy flooded into my soul. And, yes, He was with us those two adventurous years that we spent there.
