Yellow

~ Jason Kanz

From Soil of the Divine.

With sun cresting
orbed yellow
yet casting
polychromatic palate,
I greet the morning,
“I will awake the dawn.”

Day by day
I am resurrected
brought again to life,
fresh mercies with each new day.

May my heart be steadfast
hour by hour
breath by breath
song by song.

I will awake the dawn! -Psalm 108:2

One thought on “Yellow”

  1. Wow. Fantastic poem. Loved every single line, but especially this part right here:

    “Day by day
    I am resurrected
    brought again to life,
    fresh mercies with each new day.”

    Just like a Phoenix bird.
