Sunrise Sonnet

I stand upon our Makakilo hill And gaze toward the valley calm and still. The brilliant sun will soon be rising high Morphing rays of gold in the twilight sky. The clouds are rimmed in light as Sol ascends. Another day in paradise begins— As birds begin their chorus in the trees Our flag waves softly in Hawaiian breeze. A floral scent embraces humid air Of heaven's divine fragrance sweet and fair. I love to rise before the dawn each day Enriched by nature's wonders as I pray. I see the good in all mankind and know That peace will come to nations as we grow. (non-traditional Sonnet) Happy Easter to Everyone!
