Sunrise Collector
I have become somewhat of
a sunrise collector
There are times when I wake up
only to see and to capture
the pink and purple
behind shadowed silhouettes
Or the peach mist
as it creeps across the trees
Even the deep
red reflections
contribute to
the blend of colors
that paint the sky
which is always worth the rise
A sunset looks
the same
in color
but the difference lies
in feeling
A sunrise is
an opening rather than a close
an opening
beautiful
because it is
Solitary
Still
Quiet
A moment of
light
breaking
through the darkness
for the first time
