As the Sun Winks

On the cold of an early day...
Mist hoovers atop low grass

I stand with chilled toes...
With only my head above the rooftop
 
As the sun winks rising
It bakes my face, to comfort
 
A feeling of warmth warms my bod... 
As I watch the moon fade 

I close my eyes and tilt my head slightly back 
Then, I think to myself...

Such a beautiful, wonderful morning 
Then, I look down...and the mist is gone

Sunrise is always beautiful, but in Malta it is very short lived.
