The Beauty of Dawn

A gloriously bright pink and orange sky captures human imagination and takes it hostage. I feel mesmerized by the beautiful carnage the sun trails behind her as she takes her leave. In no hurry, she presents a beautiful surreal sky with delightful rainbow colors that hold a promise. Unprecedented lavenders with pink accents twinkle among the sky’s orange and yellow streaks. The sky is now a heavenly glimpse that brings a pure soul to tears, ultimate goodness pronounced. The sun’s complete departure has transformed this idyllic place into a virtual paradise on earth. Enraptured, the woodland animals are silent. Beauty such as this soothes the soul for a long time. I sit and ponder for many moments after the sun has gone, marveling at what she has left in her wake. Written July 17, 2018 Entered Emile Pinet's Dusk or Dawn Poetry Contest
