Daybreak In Oregon
Today the air seems cold and still
darkness has triumphed over the day
when hope for the return of daylight
touches of a lavender appear in the sky above
looking east the horizon is a rich royal blue
with black mountain silhouetted highlights
to the west sky is dark purple a grayish tint
mountains are sleeping lazily on the landscape
without any doubt daylight is approaching
there is a struggle within the night time sky
the heavens in the east sky begin to glow
to the west the sky is painted a reddish hue
darkness fatigues with this celestial glory
the earth awakens and begins to glow
Victory is a daybreak in Oregon
Edward J. Ebbs - Winter 2005
