At last!

Comes to full term,

Night,

with all her hopes for what her daughter,

Day,

might bring,

births Dawn.

What light noon may bring to the world

is known by Days first mornings

tottering steps

and by what power her father,

Sun,

bequeaths his daughter

in the mid-mornings hours.

Then witnessed in the Prime Meridian,

the full bright light of noon,

afternoon illuminating her journey

toward some far off perfection

the future holds for her,

maybe.

Then comes evening

and the dark

and another midnights lying-in.

Then another mornings

first spark of light.
