Low Embers

For the creek. For Pop

Low embers

silked smoke

morning chill

hearts wake

feet covered

blanketed shoulders

stiffened steps

bird song

God never sleeps

He stirs the waters

He breaks the dawn

God never sleeps

God never sleeps

He gives breath

He covers with rest

God never sleeps

While eyes are closed

and dreams spring to life

the Maker moves

the Maker holds

He stirs the heart

to greet the dawn

Through deepest dark

God never sleeps
