The First Morning

And in the beginning, dawn did break
a breath of light growing to completeness
an understanding which breaks forth from the clouds
spreading itself to all those within its grasps

emerge does the ray, coming from above
in its birth it gives life
an origin of definition
and it is here that it becomes
an earthly phase
the light of the world
in commencement of all that was
