First Light.
If first light following night's release
seizes every day's dawning
to increase
the force of nature's fresh air feast
which overrides
residues of human sleep drifting
and provides more
meaning to a deep-stretch revival
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
why not breathe it in ?
If alchemy, in waking at first light
outweighs and changes
last cosy minutes under a duvet
by urging fresh ways
to adventure which illuminate life
why not breathe it in ?

Your visit and comment on First Light is most appreciated Alan - - so pleased the read started your day well.................... Fay
That first light is as fine as the words in your poem Fay.
Ah - you are so kind Andy and thank you very much for the lovely words of encouragement.
Time to go for a morning walk methinks!
Thanks for your comment dear Orchi.
A wonderful refreshing poem to start the day. Your words create such a lovely soothing feeling in me as I read. Great work.
Your comment is highly appreciated dear Clara - - First light is a wonderful time and thank you for saying the write helped to soothe and relax you ....................... warmly from Fay
I breathe it in every day - an inspiring write Fay.
Wonderful to feel the freshness of dawn Michael and glad you breathe it in too.
I have to say a big grin warmed my face when i saw this title.... "ah yes, our lady of the dawn" were my thoughts.
And an encouraging twist unfolded before me. I rarely greet the dawn in it's real nature i.e. outdoors but special occasions do come to mind and the dawning does something special to me when experienced in that way.
Lately I'm living in an insipid drugs regieme which leaves me bed ridden till mid-day. Sad but really makes me want to recover and be "there" again to absorb natures rich gifts and probably appreciate them as never before.
Inspiring.
May you wishes be granted dear dusk and may your stay in bed under medication bring you to better health in order to be there out in that First Light again.............. am so glad the title gave you a big grin...................... keep that hope high my friend.
I am breathing, I am breathing, Fay!
Got dizzy with all that fresh early morning air!
Ha ha - - good to read you are breathing it in Fred.............nothing fresher than morning air.
