Sunrise, April 2010

The tranquil moon

Her night’s shift done

Begins to fade

And calls the sun

♦

Cold, dark silence

Drifts away

As song of birds

Announces day.

Black to gray

Gray to white

White to rosy

Dawn of light.

Dewdrops sparkle

Shadow trees

Stand silhouetted

In the breeze

Iridescent

Daily rainbow

Peeking pink and

Purple promise

Orange arises

Glowing brighter

Yellow! Shouts

A brand new day.
