From Sunrise To Sunset

Aurora begins collecting daybreak’s embers - sparking them till sun has caught on fire. If fortunate, we get to waken to blue skies as sun rises higher and higher. Brightly comes daylight – eventually fading after its zenith has been reached. Sun worshippers know very well precious light by nightfall can’t be leeched. Soon twilight unfurls vibrancy wondrously - colors whose beauty can sometimes make us sigh. Pink or persimmon dissolve into the sea, or violet we might see streak the sky!

WoW! Andrea, I'm see all these amazing entries; maybe I should remove mines from the contest. Your Alpha lines are top-notch. It makes sense, and it has a nice rhythm and flow. Your verse is just breathtaking. Best wishes in the contest:-) Alexis
