Sunrise

Sunrise, a painting becoming
 visible, on the horizon.

Up it goes each morn,
Till the dew disappears.

The sun has risen high in the sky,
Like a beacon of light.

The warmth of the day is here  
to delight.

Till nightfall descends,

The end of the day paints 
the western sky.

And twilight vanished into night.
