A Blood-Red Hue

As the cycles of night and day renew, a rising sun inks ebony skies blue. And crystal drops of misty morning dew sparkle like diamonds, as Dawn's light breaks through. While the horizon bleeds a blood-red hue, Night's twinkling stars disappear, right on cue. And an owl breaks the silence with a "whoo," as shifting silhouettes come into view. And a rooster crows cock-a-doodle-doo, announcing Sol's spectacular debut. Sleeping songbirds wake, to bid Night adieu; basking in sunlight, as they're known to do. Colored clouds absorb tints like a tissue, held aloft with an invisible glue. Nature's artwork, no artist can outdo: for inspiration; it's Her; they turn to.
