Golden rays, spilling through the blinds, a gentle caress. A symphony of birdsong, a crescendo of dawn. Warmth, embracing the skin, a whisper of a new day. Eyes open, stretch and breathe, a sigh of contentment. The world awakens, a canvas of possibility, untouched, vibrant, fresh. Heart alight, spirit soaring, a sense of possibility in every beat. A perfect morning. A promise of joy to be embraced, a masterpiece to be created....

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...

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 stars now fade and claim their mundane rest. Harmonious birds now...

First Light
The pond is brackish a smear of lichen, a low haze. Water birds dabble in their sleep. Soon the sun will dash across a drop of dew to burst dams of light. Wings will shake off dwindling shadows, slap the wet air until the water awakes....

First Light
how bright the dew in the sunlight each drop a picture of a world remade down by the dock herons watch rainbows riding over silver fish time shows-up as a water road journeying to just here this place where dawn dew mirrors a million first lights gleaming out of a million suns my dog sniffs at the prismatic air the light the new fledged green she sweeps her furry...

Premium Member Grateful For the First Light of Day
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 deepest frost wailing winds from the Southern Ocean does not discourage...

Walked out into dawn's first light Yet ensconced in fears of night Would the golden sun's rays shine Would sky and sea be yours and mine to stroll beside pure waves of pleasure as blue waters lap the shore in leisure... You touched my hand and thrilled my heart Horizon's...

First Light In the Star Fields
A stone in the backyard, roughly cratered like the moon, a black stone heavy with ancient cinders – fire chipped. Could it be a meteorite or maybe a bit of cold star-fire? It’s so very old, utterly lost even though it is now placed here in my hand - placed for an iota of time. Lots of rocks in the black pock-marked yonder- in...

First Light To Keep
The first cut sharp and burning red, don’t edit away its fire Keep the wound both fresh and raw, never cauterize your ire The horizon breaks just once each day, a new dawn—cold hearts aspire Rays burning deep, first light to keep —old ashes to inspire (Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2016)...
