Morning Prayer by Barbara Billey


 Earth Mama Patricia St. Louis, csj, Artist


Morning Prayer

When light drops into a woman's body
she knows this familiar grace.

When every hard edge
of life digs in like

the top of tight socks into flesh she
remembers light will return

as softness caressing one breast close 
to where the heart lives 

as warmth, wet rising low beneath her navel

as a kiss eager, unrelenting
drawing her into lightness beyond

 the long, lost night. 

Barbara Billey (23 Mar 26)
