Sunrise
I sit in my kitchen
with a cup of tea,
while the world
is still asleep,
and there in the darkness,
I wait for you
in a state of tranquility.
Soon - a drop
of magenta seeps,
into a sea of black,
as it bleeds and bleeds,
in multiple streams,
bringing the daylight back.
Then from the base,
of a purple line,
where the sea and earth
meet sky,
a blazing ball of fire appears,
nearly blinding my eyes,
and the night - in a flash -
disappears.
Higher and higher,
that ball of fire,
rises into the sky;
setting the boughs
of the pines ablaze,
in shades of red,
and golden rays,
beneath a sky
now royal blue
as I watch the sun
rise in the East
and dream - again,
of you.
