                             FIRST LIGHT


the first sunrise is only a dream, and so is time: for the sun holds a landscape of light in which moment and world become the emphatically now: a rising of things, mystery that comes with transformation of the heart, blue comet kingfisher, cantata in the light choral advent of existence: butterfly sun, immanence and egg, when dream-time and moment merge in the history and humming of our song, as the sun rises from the first ever dream, and wild shadow:

                                        the sun rises
                                        the birth of light itself
                                        bird, fire
                                        hymn, myth,
                                        & world
