Daybreak

The morning star fades from the depths of night;

                             Shadowed hills, cloaked with bony leafless trees,

                                    The horizon breaks into tinted light,

                                Clouds forming aloft, drifting on the breeze,

                                  In the east the sun prepares to ignite,

                                   Without exception, a diurnal flight.

A wonderfully descriptive write Paulette. I've been watching dawn arrive almost every day for the last three weeks over a small lake where I work. When the warmth of the sun hits the water it creates beautiful eddies over the water like tiny slow moving tornadoes.
