5:30 a.m. I step outside glancing at the horizon. Bursts of gold on lavender melt into a saffron sky. It's the time of day when the sky looks like it has been spray-painted by a graffiti artist. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ another day is breaking bring sunrise upon waking rise to greet the morning light more memories are in the making

Your way with describing things truly is just magical and enchanting dear sara! I am in awe of the way you’ve written the sky looks like its been spray painted by a grafitti artist! Wow! How creative are you and your way of perceiving things and describing them is beyond impeccable! I also love the rhymes here and how you written about sunrise and making new memories, how every sunrise reminds us that it is a new opportunity to start over and make new memories! Just love this! Its another fave
