NaPoWriMo - Day 26 - Call and response poem

Today for NaPoWriMo the task is to write a call and response poem. Here is mine:


Morning Ritual

Call now my brothers, call now my sisters
Come the sun, come the day.

Rising again from horizon afar
Come the sun, come the day

Inching above the dark frozen earth
Come the sun, come the day

Hail to the God of morning’s new birth
Come the sun, come the day.

His fingers are fiery, his temper is hot
Come the sun, come the day

Bow down before him in reverent praise
Come the sun, come the day

For he is your strength, your lifeblood, your life
Come the sun, come the day.

Let us now sing as he raises his head
Come the sun, come the day

Raise up your arms, let him shine on your face
Come the sun come the day

Hail to the God of morning’s new birth
He is here! He is here! All hail to the sun!
