Faint light appears in the east

A baby day calls its infant greeting

In beams of light lending colour to the world

At night all is grey and blue and black

But now the earth too wakes up

With green and brown of leaf and bark and blade

Green too, in the water, reflecting blue

That overhead harbours white fluffiness

And back in the east

Red and gold, orange and white

Clash together in maturing light

Creation rises

Rainbow petals yawn and stretch

Rainbow feathers ruffle, as their owners sing good morning

To a new day.
