Morning’s Gentle Summons — A Call to Rise, Again

There are mornings that don’t just break — they awaken.

Not with fanfare, not with thunder, but with a quiet insistence: rise, and begin again.

My latest poem, “Morning’s Gentle Summons,” was born out of that silence — the kind that follows weariness, when hope feels fragile but refuses to die. It speaks to the heart that’s been bruised by yesterday yet still finds the strength to open its eyes to today.

In its rhythm, I sought not grandeur, but gratitude.

In its words, not answers, but reminders:

that we belong here, still —

that love, presence, and gentleness remain our truest forms of courage.

Let this one meet you where you are — in the soft dawn of your own becoming.

Sometimes, all the soul needs to begin again is a whisper, not a roar.
