Alarm this morning
Boasts of cheerful bird-song bright;
I did not schedule.
I never touched the buttons.
For weeks, I ignore.
From whence it comes? I'm doubting,
Yet perceiving how
And, why, a message given
Pours into my soul:
A date set far ahead, far
Beyond my vision
Tells redemption's unmatched tale.
Story I call mine.
