Morning offering

 An offering of coffee,
Of sunlight & sweat.
Let the breath of the ages fill my lungs to capacity.
Let me breathe out the venom of mind & body.
My back is strong, my flesh willing,
To do the work of the Day.
Let this work be fruitful.
Let my soul be joyful at its fruits.
I will lift what others cannot.
I will embrace what others cannot.
You have put Fire in my heart,
Let it burn with the heat of a thousand suns.

Because You are ever with us.

And so it is.
