Sunrise
Crawl out of bed
in the early morning
squint towards the window
Brilliant colors
shower down
orange
pink
red
Piercing to dark sky
changing it
to the dawn
of a new day.
As mom is driving home
later that evening
I look out of the car window
and see the sun
sinking below the tops of the trees
and this time
the colors are different
deeper reds
stronger oranges
and a faint, subtle hint
of a purplish indigo
I watch the trees
swallow the sun
and wonder
if tomorrow
will bring something new
