Sunrise Soliloquy

__ the tropical shore waits birth of brand new morning… clouds pace heaven’s door __ one small speck of sun rises to the occasion… darkness sleeps soundly __ glory in the dawn… skies are feathered brightly with bird of paradise __ silhouetted palms wave windblown fronds in alarm… sun singes the bay __ the early morning wears a lavender halo… blue mist dressing gown ______________________ For P.D.'s Contest: "Sunrise"

wow, I think you captured every picture and some of your images were kind of like mine. I really enjoyed these,Carrie. Love the line "feathered brightly" and "lavender halo" in the last one. oh, and where darkness sleeps soundly, that is ME not getting up early with the rising sun!!
