When it is cold and raining,
You are more beautiful.
And the snow
Brings me even closer
To your lips.
The inner secret,
That which was never known,
You are that freshness,
And I am with you now.

I can't explain
The goings and comings.
You enter suddenly, and
I am nowhere again
Inside the Majesty.

Rumi

Thou hast made me endless, such is thy pleasure.  This frail vessel thou emptiest again and again, and fillest it ever with fresh life.

This little flute of a reed thou hast carried over hills and dales, and hast breathed through it melodies eternally new. 

At the immortal touch of thy hands my little heart loses its limits in joy and gives birth to utterance ineffable. 

Thy infinite gifts come to me only on these very small hands of mine.  Ages pass, and still thou pourest, and still there is room to fill. 

Rabindranth Tagore
From Gitanjali

Why I Wake Early
By Mary Oliver

Hello, sun in my face.
Hello, you who make the morning
And spread it over the fields
And into the faces of the tulips
And the nodding morning glories,
And into the windows of, even, the
Miserable and crotchety—

Best preacher that ever was,
Dear star, that just happens
To be where you are in the universe
To keep us from ever-darkness,
To ease us with warm touching,
To hold us in the great hands of light—
Good morning, good morning, good morning.

Watch, now, how I start the day
In happiness, in kindness.
