It’s 4 AM. Dawn has begun its slow stretch toward the sun. Out the window, there is not yet colour, only the lifting of shadow.
I think of You through the watches of the night.
A robin is singing. The horizon is not even perceptible, but this light is enough to waken her song. Her chimes are a gentle call to prayer. She doesn’t need full daylight. Just the promise of what’s to come.
When I awake, I am still with you.
She sings, and I know I am not alone. I know there is beauty in the dim hours of morning. A quiet love rustles the trees and steals through the screen, breathing freshness over the bed.
I lie still, and know that You are God.

Yes. Beautiful.
