Morning Delivery

The sun slips beyond the horizon
Like a letter slips into an envelope
Where it will stay until the dawn
When the envelope reopens
Spilling its contents into the sky
Brightening the world
Lifting the heart with its delivery
Like a missive from a loved one

Nice little write. When I made morning deliveries years ago, the sun wasn't up yet.
