This morning I was awakened
By a voice as gentle as a dove
Wake up baby, wake up.
Everything is going to be all right
It sang
****
I lay still for a few moments
Not quite sure from where the voice came
Or from whom
There was no one laying beside me
And no one knocked at my door
Yet as I laid there a little baffled
The voice repeated its mantra
Wake up, wake up babe
Everything is going to be all right

*****
A smile spread across my face
Like butter on a warn toast
My heart palpitated
          as if an electric charge had been administered
                                                        

******
Yes the night had been long
And the darkness deep and penetrating
But  as the sun rose above the horizon
Shining so bright
Flooding the earth with its warm glow
I was told in words that held no ambiguity
Flowing from the secret place of the Most High
That I was cradled in the arms of the One
And baby everything was going to be all right
Everything was a right.
