Lux

This one was written as a pair for Nyx. Nothing like as long went into writing it, but I think it's quite effective.

Lux

First luminous fingertips appear,

Heralded by a paling glow.

Re-created day draws nearer,

Its influence begins to show:

Tones and colours seep into daybreak,

Replacing bleached, anaemic shades.

The sun’s remembered day it remakes,

Recalling textures, forms and shapes.

Nature yearns upward,

Flowers unfurl,

New breath intaken.

Newly-made world.
