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. _______________________________________ 2/16/2018 Written for contest: Sunrise/Sunset Sponsor: Silent One
