Divine Mystery

...comes special delivery.

I had a plan for this poem,
along with some wise words
which seemed to have come
from another dimension
right into the thin air
I am breathing.

But that poem was not to be,
supplanted by this one
existing more in the milieu
of a day starting too early,
already fraught with worry.

What could it be
which sets in motion
such negative thoughts?

Now I hear a whisper
urging me to go with the flow,
and to receive divine mystery
as the very first delivery
of my waking day.
