Monday (or any) Morning Resolution List

Let me listen so I hear

Mercy’s music in my ear...

This is the day the Lord has made;

let us rejoice and be glad in it

Ps.118;24

Let me listen so I hear

Mercy’s music in my ear

Let me look so I may see

Unfurled opportunity

Let me touch so I may feel

The raw rush of awe’s appeal

Let me savour flavours of

So much still to learn and love

Ere dawn’s bloom of hope and hurt

Strews its flower/hour in the dirt

Ere the room that I am in

Sheds its plume of bone and skin

Ere the flare of gifted breath

Snuffs the wick of life with death

Ere as Time’s last gasp is spent

The veil round the soul is rent

Let me taste Now’s hasting sum

Let me waste no drop or crumb

Ere dusk’s shadow-steeples fade

From this day the Lord has made

Ere ‘have’ disappears to ‘had’

Let me rejoice and be glad

Ere too late I vainly rue

The gate no hand can undo
