Wake up!
Wake up!
Open your eyes!
Do you see?
Do you see?
There is beauty
in the ordinary;
the plain gives birth
to the magnificent.
Inside everything
is a diamond,
a pearl
ready to burst forth.
Not readily seen,
you must wait.
Patient as the sunrise,
wait for the beauty,
trusting it will emerge.
Your reward
will be gladness
that you were there
to see the splendor,
the presence of God.
