A single star upon the blue Jet streaks from charcoal to white Pale pink breaks the horizon's line Crickets and doves sing delight Dove's have an echo some of the time Roosters crow unanswered Changing the horizon to rosa wine Interspersed coyotoes whined The spider checks his web, repairs There's no breakfast for him A long night's hunger unfulfilled As morn's star slowly dims Its light superceded by the sun As the sun rises to greater heights And the sun paints the canvas grand Colors wonderful, just right Amazing how the paint can change What once was charcoal gray Now is an awesome pink, what was White, now gray, touched this day I can't go away untouched, changed This morn uplifted me I can never view this earth again Without thinking of Thee What a beautiful sunrise It has changed once again Only to be captured upon my mind Maybe not even then

Like me, Sara, you are a lover of God's creation. I like the second to last stanza best because it reflects my own sentiment. Thank you for stopping by and it's good to hear from you again. May the true God prove to be a blessing to you. / M

Shirley, Some sunrises are so wonderful that there is no way they can be captured in a work by man unless The Holy Spirit empower him..Thanks for the kind review ..Sara

Good morning Sara. what a fine poem you have penned my friend. A beautiful sunrise that lifted my very soul. The great and changing colors and sounds and joy that comes when one can truly appreciate the gifts of God and the blessings of life. There is wind and clouds and rain here this morning and God is truly in the mist of it. We are blessed by God and I am blessed to have read your poem today. Have a wonderful day.... Robert.

Robert, I am delighted at your presence here today..I appreciate the kind review of my work..I do enjoy being able to go out on the porch in the early morning hours but I don't get out there very much anymore..Changes in my life have presented me with that dilema which I am going to see what can be done to change it again..We are in the middle of heat again here today over a hundred with the humidity figured in..It is suppose to change back again though to being somewhat better..I hope so...Sara

"I can't go away untouched, changed This morn uplifted me I can never view this earth again Without thinking of Thee" - excellent lines, Sara, nothing can uplift us better than God's creation:)
