Absentee

A flaming red sun cast purple
Against the foggy morn.
A pale gray sky now awakened
By sunlight and adorned

The symphony in the valley
Rises swiftly 'pon cool air
Unmatched by Mockingbird's singing

While most run and race about life
Trying to gain control

The bright illuminance shines forth
As the sun tops the trees
Another day has begun its 
March, night an absentee
