Vivid Bursts of Magenta

     Sunrise majestic, vivid bursts of magenta
       and pink streaks of sunset present a dilemma

    as to which of the two inspires me more
       the promise of daybreak or moonlit night’s shore

    Yet I can’t sit here and plumb the depths of this question
       lest sun’s promise fade ~
                     and clouds mar the night in rapid succession

Ahh!! Both sunrises and sunsets can be magnificent. Of course, a good many morns this summer have be obscured by clouds, but those days here have their own beauty in that we get the creek rise and sometimes heavy fog. I really enjoyed reading this one. Thanks for sharing your talent with us. Sara K
