WHY NOT ?.

 

 

Why Not ?.


If first light that follows night\'s release
seizes every day\'s dawning
to increase
the force of nature\'s fresh-air feast 
which overrides
residues of human sleep-recourse 
and provides
new meaning to deep-breath revival

then why not breathe it in ?

 

If delight upon which one stumbles 
at first light gives the urge
contained in that
humbling moment as dawn takes 
up reigns cleansed by
dark silence to draw in morning air
and purge dream-dried
remains in lungs, heart and mind

then why not breathe it in ?

 

If blessings of waking at first light

outweigh last cosy moments in bed

and help gather fresh stores of life

then why not breathe it in ?
