Spirit, light, today I need
some warming core
some inner seed
some steady, peaceful, self-contained assurance
that all is well within, that my endurance
won’t even be stretched thin by these dark days
that that which rises up within to sing your praise
will carry me in joy along whatever course you choose
will bubble forth and grow more strong
the more it’s used
so glowing with a warmth
that I can feel and also share
thus showing forth your presence
here and everywhere.
