Colours of Morning

Over the mountain she lifts.
A burst of orange, blinding and bright in the sky.
Nature's miracle or God's gift.
Almost painful to the eye, 
a sight to make my heart sigh.

From violet to blue the sky changes, 
the sun orange to yellow as dawn breaks.
A battle of colour wages.
Oh, what a sunrise it makes,
this vision, my breath it now takes.

Colours explode with the dawn.
I am blessed to witness the sight.
Then as this day wears on
the reverse will come as daylight takes flight
and sunset bids all a goodnight.

This was a lovely read, Francine. The way you captured the ever changing hues of the dawn was fascinating. Yes, it can be breathtaking. God is a wonderful artist. :)
