Best First Light Poems

Some people love to gaze upon
the setting sun but sleep until
it’s high each day. They never thrill
to unique freshness of the dawn,
the sunrise, a resplendent sight,
accompanied by shades of red
and orange. There’s much to be said
for sweet communion with first light.
When from my porch I...

The eminent breeze slips through the trees,
multitudes of scrawny fingers guided by stout limbs,
conducts the aria.

the trill of daybreak
whilst the morning star shines bright
the moon on the wane

Oh! Sweet Merle your irrepressible melody defies all that is logic,
one understands these balmy mornings of summer, yet...

across jade dew grass...
quick barefoot numbing stumbles  -

Those who rise early see not just first light.
They see each plant and leaf embrace the sun.
Light bids each new green sprout to stand upright,
until sun's task of bold, bright work is done.

We till the fertile soils and plant new seed,
in hopes with light and...

black and white picture of an
austrian girl with a torn coat

watching angels drown sinners
to see if they float.

 arms of clouds folded in a
 white alabaster.

blackened charcoal burns into the sky 
faster and faster.

yet still the museum curator seekes to find.

Cockerel talk again
Raging debate about the hour

A metallic crackle, that familiar hiss
And once again a ceramic kiss

As dawn cleans the slate of night
Yesterdays dishes belong in the sink

Truth comes at first light....

liquid has swift wings
when the fuel is sweet
and glasses half-full
consistent

light dims as a sigh
for the shadow's walk,
reflecting inward glow
elation of the stranger's eye

flint strike spark
dry timber, helpless
ignition
fast flame, burn
smokeless ember drenched

favored hands flicker
glide and clench,
sticky sweet and ashen
blisters form unnoticed
in confused heat, diminished

sunblast shatter
curtain call,

First light of morn, I live for
The dark of night my soul forgave
Forthwith, I needed light
Night lingered like the grave.

Oh, what warm embrace with smile
I revel in light for a while
Henceforth, the Source I see
It gets me on my knees.

Light, water, fresh air I feel
Fortifies...

An enchanting blood red sunrise is slowly dawning in the east,
our morning premier glimpse, of this fire breathing beast.
Its crimson wave envelops the darkness of our land,
an hourglass revealed that drops each grain of sand.

Nefarious nightly creatures quickly scurry out towards the west,
the moon and...

When you awake to see dawns first light
Tis only I turning on my bed side light
And when long shadows cast their shade
Tis but I standing proudly on parade
And when the thunder shakes the ground
Tis but I marching proud
And when the rain fall upon your face
Tis...

Inspired by "First light"

Green tape instrumentals 
record by Evidence of Dilated 
Peoples.


Plan my escape out the depths 
of inferno
Time wasted as fast as 
cigarettes burning
As a fan of this form of art, 
back in the day
Listened, learnt, wrote a lot & 
I've come to...
