early morning, Lent, day eighteen

I wake early with a psalm
refrain
singing in my soul
perhaps I had been 
praying it 
in my sleep
our small choir
sings
the psalm 
on Sunday mornings
this must have been one recently
sung or rehearsed

I wake again at 
daybreak
hearing six notes from an
organ
so clearly
I sit up in wonder
searching
there is no organ here

downstairs
with my tea I settle in
to read the Words from the 
Daily Lectionary
Psalm first,
as usual,
my soul sings again
"O God, you are my God;
    eagerly I seek you."
