Morning Prayer

Morning Prayer

A Poem by Rick r

A whispered
call to prayer
across the pillow
my muezzin
your adhān
awakens me
to the sun
a new day.

I rise and kneel
in worship
in supplication
I hasten to you
my confession
in adoration
I vow, I bow
to please you.

A very sensual poem, with the religious imagery sustained cleverly in extended metaphor. Clever work.
