Notes About The Poem

Sunrise

I watched the gloaming break in silent peace
Dark purple change to pink before my eyes
The bottoms of the clouds turned bright cerise
Which bled into the lake before sunrise
Then suddenly all wrapped in golden fleece
The morning sun joined in his masterpiece

Lovely poem. I loved the line 'wrapped in golden fleece'. I'm at the age I rarely see a sunrise, bit living near the beach I see glorious sunsets, wrapped in golden fleece. Blessings, Vivien
