In the stillness of a silent, pre-dawn morning
I await your arrival with anticipation
sitting in the open air, drinking coffee
on a crisp, winters morning
A small frontline of wispy
floating cloud
sways back and forth
the morning star is still bright
in a pearly grey sky
You announce your impending arrival
by turning the pearly grey to silver,
to palest yellow, to deep gold
As the sky fills piece by piece
with your sunshine
you rise in my world
on my horizon
in a display of splendour
This is the moment
I have been waiting for
when you rise
as a perfect globe
This is when you "shine"
turning my world
magenta
shot through
with splashes of pinks
No artist could capture
the pure beauty of this colour
Within minutes you change
to a firey red, then
to a deep burnt orange
peppered with deep gold
and finally
to bright, clear, sunflower yellow
I sit and stare at you in awe
and feel sorry for those
who are blind and cannot see
your magnificence
You are mother nature's
greatest work of art
As I sit and look at you
I know only complete peace
and pure happiness
for you are so beautiful
so serene
And I treasure
our pre-dawn rendezvous
