First Light

A hush of velvet, deep and vast,
The world holds breath, its shadows cast.
A single thread of gold appears,
To dry the canvas of our tears.
The hills ignite, a whispered fire,
Fulfilling dawn’s soft, deep desire.
The sky, a bruise of purple, grey,
Surrenders to the coming day.
And there it hangs, a perfect sphere,
To wash away the doubt and fear.
A silent promise, warm and bright,
The world is born again in light.
