Poem Title:
Poem
I stand looking eastward, in the piccaninny dawn I stand up straight, have a stretch, give out a hearty yawn I am waiting for the sunrise, one of those times of day When the beauty of this Place we live, comes with its own display The horizon slowly brightens, as the Earth revolves The sun appears to move around, as the dark dissolves The rays start to stream vertical, the herald of the sun Then the first part of the orb, a new day has begun I watch enthralled as colours change, atmosphere in control It is not long before the sun, is magnificently whole The shadows they stretch out so far, hard to see the end They blend into the distant shapes, Goosebumps they can send As they are growing shorter, and daylight in command Sunrise has gone for another day, Gods raucous, avian band Plays all the different bird calls, is not sunrise grand? All I can do is watch in wonder, was it really planned As it makes its way across the sky, the Sun sees all the Earth I think about the miracle, for what my thought is worth The eons in the past gone by, no doubt the same to come Just the passing of such time, it makes my brain quite numb It moves toward its setting point, more beauty to behold The colours they will vary, but with overwhelming gold The reds they will be deeper, as the sun sinks in the west Hard to say which one I think, sunrise or sunset best As the orb sinks lower, shadows lengthen once again But this time it's getting darker, daylight is on the wane We'll have to wait till morning, once more to see it rise Until dusk we can enjoy, the colour lows and highs
