sunrise

 
restless morning betray me not
awakened to the day I pray one of beauty
inside my dreams, you saw me
eager to visit, I was awoken

the sun has yet to kiss the morn
I in a sleepy state greeted the wee hours
smiling at me from the clock on the nightstand
I thought surely it was too early

then the beautiful stillness of the day sway me
so I walk into the solemn corridors of the morning
watching in awe as the sun first touches the horizon
the night whispers I love you
two old lovers, she departs to her bed chamber

the sun warms my thoughts with his tenderness
I look to the trees next just shadowy figures at the moment
sentinels since the foundation of the earth
wise and old they creek hello

I enter the day as the birds begin to chatter
it will be a beautiful day
I'm grateful to be up early
