First Light
Light seeps as First Light
learns to dance again -
Imagine a blind maiden upon suddenly seeing
how lovely her legs were,
imagine her surprise and wonder!
First Light is like that.
Light must seep out of darkness,
there can be nothing sudden
about the dawns awakening.
It is a birth, the light must bleed
out of that dark womb,
must become young and fresh.
That light has to learn the steps
upon every dawning
that all of life on Earth must follow
as that young maiden learns
her new dance.
