Morning Prayer

Khaire!
It's Helios'es morning
His chariot up soaring.
I send my thanks to spirits of home,
For keeping us under protective dome.
Artemis, my dearest Mother, hear my pray,
I thank you for this sweet winter day.
Lastly I send my deepest regards,
To all present Spirits and Gods.

Heya, Lycaina is here!
It's been pretty hard to try and keep my Gods in my thoughts during day to day. There's a lot of changes happening, especially from the start of this year (the main reason I haven't been active here) and I'm mostly stuck in my head thinking about, important, but still very logical, down to earth, "mundane" things. That's why I decided I need to find a way to naturally connect my religion, witchcraft and everyday life.
So I've started with composing and writing this prayer and now I'll be saying it out loud (also new to me) every morning as I wake up/see the first time the rays of Helios (Sun). I intentionally chose as short of a size and as most rhythmic as possible, for the prayer to be as memorable as possible. Also the 'winter' word by the idea  should be changed depending on the current season. 
This one is way more personal that any other I've posted so far, but I hope, if not for you to directly use it,  I can encourage some of you to make your own prayers, however short they might be <3
