Morning has Broken

The "First Morning", if we should choose or be able to define it, would have been a point in the rotation of a coalescing mass of hydrogen, helium and heavier elements, dragged together by their own gravity after being ejected by the death throes of a former star.

Any folk singer or, indeed, blackbird, present at the time would have died due to the lack of a breathable atmosphere. Which at least would have saved them from the more painful death consequent on the solar radiation from which they would not have been shielded by the unbreathable atmosphere.

I've no idea what the first "dew fall" would have been on that first earth, but I'm guessing something fairly acidic. And it wouldn't have fallen on the first grass, because that came billions of years later.

Likewise the "first bird". I"ve always been fond of the notion that birds are indeed actually the only remaining dinosaurs - members of the warm-blooded, flying group to be sure. Now I don't know what the first pterosaur sounded like but I'd guess something fairly terrifying rather than the sweet call of a blackbird.

So, on the whole, I think some people can over-romanticize this whole "like the first morning" business. Morning has indeed broken, but thank goodness it's not like the first one.
