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 ?

I've just read this 3 times because the rhythmic wording and positioning of it all is quite remarkably done. Such a poignant poem. It needs to be hung up on the sky.
Ah - humble thanks Kevin - - that first light of the day has always impressed my imaginative senses - and pleased that you found its value through this small verse.
Value? There is no value to work like this. It makes me feel I am falling behind in producing such wonderful work.
An invigorating breath of fresh air. and why not?
Refreshing fun writing.
Absolutely well written and wonderful poem to wake up to!! Loved it, Fay! Beautiful picture and quite refreshing as I am waking up to rain!
A lovely write Fay. The crack of dawn is getting later now. Then we mess about by changing the clocks and, bingo, dawn is an hour earlier!
Was it Dennis Norden who had that catchphrase centuries ago(?) in a film clip show?
That first light is a wonderful sight and looks forward to the day ahead.
