At dawn I gazed at the kaleidoscopic canvas, stars still blinking, uncanny hushed night somber nebulous sky a few white pristine clouds floating, a strip of the silvery Moon still glistened! A gush of lavender emotions ran through my veins, This indescribable solemn sight… felt like a surreal dream! I found a purpose The emotions ignited my saffron imagination… spread its wings and rise to the unfathomable ruby-red horizon!

Mala, your imagination soars in this write! I really like how the colors add a dreamy dimension to this kaleidoscopic canvas: white clouds, silvery moon, ruby-red horizon, and the very poetic lavender emotions and saffron imagination. Your adjectives take a simple scene of dawn breaking and imbue it with a sense of spirituality and wonder: simple, solemn, somber, surreal, uncanny. Such a joy and an inspiration to read! Many blessings ~ John
