Dawn Meditation
by David A. Scott
Written in response to:
​“The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
​Don't go back to sleep." ~ Rumi
​At dawn, your mind is quiet
and more open 
to the inner light and wisdom
that you share with God.

So listen carefully
with an open heart and mind
for thoughts that bring you peace
and enable you to love.
​
They touch you lightly
without condemnation,
like the scent of roses
​and a gentle morning breeze.
