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!
