Orison for Morning

Inspired by ‘On the nature of daylight’

by Max Richter

~

earth yawns into morning

night air thins to nought

an imperceptible stirring, 

no movement more a sense

of changing shape and form

to greet emerging light,

colours blossom, hues fill out

blushing with fresh warmth

conjuring the new day’s 

complexion to settle

to declare itself,

its favoured humour rebalanced

before we rise
