Adieu To the Night
It just goes to follow, that the sun can not rise
If the darkness has not conceded its demise
But the night is a part of the birth of the day
Displaying nature’s art in a magnificent way
As sun breaks horizon it’s the end of the show
Credits start to run ... it’s now time to go
A true sunrise chaser knows just what to do
Arriving in darkness, anticipating the view
As sun creeps along it begins with the glow
The colors are intense as the aura starts to grow
The clouds are the artists defining the glory
Cumulous or stratus, they tell a different story
The sky is electric ... on fire with color
This sunrise will be like no one other
A spiritual enlightening comes over me
As the glow of sun’s fire peeks just above the sea
It grows in intensity warming my face
I feel the beginnings of a million other days
The surety in life as the new day debuts
We bid the passing night a fond adieu.
