Golden Sunrise

Above the waters
Above the sparkling sea
   A golden sunrise 
Reflected in the brine
   The sky is lit up 
with brillant colors
     Small sea creatures 
are tossed by the waves
    The sun heats the water
allowing its inhabitants 
             to continue to live beneath 
the waves
               A beachcomber walks by
in the early morning 
     Her eyes are riveted
on the sunrise
     She smiles subtly when 
she feels the rays
            strike her face
She knows the new
          dawn will bring change
  To the sea, to the land
to creatures great and small
   Other eyes have seen the 
bright sunrise
    Other eyes have seen the 
sunset
    This morning may never 
be repeated
Yet there's time for her 
To enjoy the crashing of 
the waves
        as they strike 
a sandy shoreline      
  As morning falls sround
her shoulders
   our beachcomber takes a breath 
of the salt sea air
    Life is renewed once more
