Poetry 4: First Sight

Imagine first sight!
Eyes never saw
Before any light
Nor knew any day
Nor dark of night.
Imagine first sight!

Imagine first sunrise
To shock with color
Vibrant those eyes.
Imagine first sunset
Lay bare the wonders
Of first night skies.

Imagine first cloud
To cover the sun.
Imagine first rain and
First water’s run.
Imagine the joy
Of the first joyful one.

Imagine first flowers,
Pearled with first drops,
Cascading colors
In those first hours,
As first bees sip first sweetness
In Eden’s first bowers.

Imagine first sight
Of Her wand’ring close
Of first rising heartbeat
Of first longing, first eros.
Imagine first mother’s cry
Singing joy to the cosmos.

Imagine first parent’s sight
Of first parents’ child;
Imagine childhood’s first flower;
Imagine first love’s might;
Imagine first hour;
Imagine first sight.
