Sunrise

Sunrise In that mystic moment of pre-dawn light When shadows linger, remnant of the night And birds proclaim the coming dawn Rejoicing at a world reborn We wait in reverent anticipation Of a glorious coronation At first a blush, a hint, no more With stealthy growth the heavens explore Embracing all within its reach The sky awash in perfect peach That fades again before my eye To brilliant blue, no longer shy. But bursting forth as is her right The rising sun resumes her flight Causing instant transformation Of grey perception to colour affirmation A royal robe for a celestial Queen Creating below a vivid scene
