Breath of dawn

 

—In darkness, light’s seed is born.

Breath of dawn

Blessings fallen
from unwept sorrow,
blessings folded
into the hush of dark,
gathering every hollow trace,
to kindle the light,
a firefly pulsing
its delicate immensity,
eye of eternity,
a latent seed,
a diamond forging itself
in the veiled womb of earth.

Beneath seas of shadow,
a star stirs,
an ascending breath
breaks free.
