Spirit That Guides Me Poem by Asher Proschansky

I get up before you
Spirit that guides me
Angel who looks down from above
I was distraught
I was fearful
My G_D what was I thinking of

Well you showed me your leopard
You showed me your lion
Your eagle and your deer
Instead of taking a lesson
I ran away
I ran away in fear

Well the lessons were too great
I did not want to saturate
there was just so much I could take
but you just opened my shutters
flew open my windows
and shined in your sun
I forget the terror
the terror of the evening
when fear eclipsed the sun

So I get up in the morning
light as a leopard
strong as a lion
swift as a deer
with the vision of an eagle
a new dawn has broken
