First Light



Black forests hiss
When the night Earth rumbles
Bleed and shiver with
Invisible skies.
Lakes fall in
Bellowing waves
The world hangs
Washed in penitence.

Glowing curtains
Split
Dreams no longer
Shaken
Over the mountain
Shines
The cleanest rays ever
Savored
By life's first bloom.

The contrast of verses speaks volumes of the difference between night and day,

the difference between blindness and sight.

And you still see so clearly in the night.

Rebirth. Every day is new. Wonderful to be reminded of that.

Love the picture.

Mermaid, thanks for seeing the difference in structure! I did do that intentionally.

Kate, thanks! That's a Mayapple blossom. The picture turned out well.

Kaycie, I agree. There are countless opportunities to be reborn, if we choose to take them.
