Morning Hymn - Meg Hutchinson

Never the less - always the more
Love offered, love's in store
Right here - Not after or before
This blue-grey hour, before the day is born
Under this skin - Between these lungs
We're all made of, risks and revelations
Early morning, the world is calm
We're all these webs of light,
In here woven
Nothing has to be lost
And everything stands to be gained
We could live our lives towards some possible pain
But why not be here today?

And of all these thousand things
None were mine to begin with
For instance the sun
A thousand wings rising
For instance the sun
You loped in - From such a long long distance
And I know, you could lope off again
But steady now, we begin
Crawl from our dark hollow
Towards this bright season
