Day Breaking...

Ah! the sky lightens...

not quite seven and the day is dawning.

Day break- yet it does not break at all

but creeps in silently on tiptoe as

the barely perceptible changes

in the sky whisper of the sun's coming.

Night gives way gently to day...

the moon fadng slowly as

the sun's light overtakes hers

outshines her, sending her

into deep sleep until its setting

invites her back into the eastern sky,

while the dying light of the sun

paints the western horizon

with an indescribable palette

of color...and the gloaming

settles gently into the

velvet dark of night.

     Another day of living...

     another day.
