    DAYBREAKS

     

    Light comes to tiny eyes, and fresh air breathes a breath

    First an early silence then a cry that denies death

    Finally the hibernation ends and starts anew

    With nothing more to cover us than the life-sustaining dew

     

    Like some amazing treasure find we are looked upon with awe

    The fresh pink wrinkles of the skin, the cries of wonder draw

    First we gasp then we scream a piercing call of joy

    Then cuddled and cherished like some new Christmas toy

     

    Though we can’t yet speak we make our sounds as if we’ve something to say

    Eyes can’t focus yet we can see the breaking of our day

    Our very first we don’t recall but remember al the same

    The day we appeared to everyone, the day our first breath came

    Thank You

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
