I Welcome the Created Light of this New Day (Celtic Poem)

I welcome the created light of this new day,

So that I may enter more fully

Into the uncreated light of eternity;

I welcome the wind

That blows away all that is not rooted, 

So that I may enter unencumbered,

Into the Source of all;

I welcome the dark storm clouds, 

So that I may never make light

Of the mysterious Presence; 

I welcome the cold,

so that I may always search

for the warming fire of God's love.

Poem taken from 40 Prayers from Celtic Christianity.
