Moments Before Sunrise

Almond eyes flicker with the fire of a hundred stars,
Piercing through the depths of night.
The moon he wears like a halo,
A crown for the poor and the forgotten.
The stars twinkle their silent applause as he rises -
Trees ripple with every movement, every heartbeat -
And then, just like that,
He is gone,
No trace,
The stars vow their silence,
And all melts back into day.
The first glimpse of sunlight floods the land.
