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 re-course
and provides new
meaning to a 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 aid us gather fresh store of life
then why not breathe it in ?
