Silhouettes
Define the dawn.
Silhouettes define the dawn
Move in the pale blue sky
Grey clouds perch on the hills
Another dawn is nigh.
Black and white reach their height
Then olive green appears
And softly paints the foliage
As darkness disappears.
Clouds above the treetops
Are brushed in a subtle pink
Before dawn colours change
Perfectly in sync.
Then a golden light suffuses
The beautiful surrounds
Lighting up the morning
And harmony abounds.
Details and definition
Appear before my eyes
Waiting for the sun to come
As night bids her goodbyes.
Ingrained in my attitude
There’s a metamorphic change
As dawn seeps into my senses
Sunrays spear o’er the range.
I watched it from my window
And will never be the same
This morning before the dawn
Before the sun’s new flame.
