Morning has broken


Morning has broken - I still remember the exact moment when I heard this song by Cat Stevens for the first time. I still remember that it caused a break in my life, for the better at some point, after a lot of turmoil. I have no idea why. That was a long time ago, of course. And now, when dark clouds are in the sky again, Morning has broken gives me faith, love and hope again.

I would like to say thanks for that.

Morning has broken
like the first morning.
Blackbird has spoken
like the first bird.
Praise for the singing
Praise for the morning
Praise for them springing
fresh from the world.

Morning has broken - is a high-key, almost blinding explosion of white surrounded by splashes of vivid pigment — turquoise, lemon yellow, magenta, and scarlet — held together by sharp vertical and elliptical gestures. It feels spontaneous, as if captured mid-burst. Like a memory overexposed or a painting caught between dream and day, this piece breathes with ephemerality. It is remarkable in how it uses negative space not as background, but as active force.
