{Inspiration} The Colours in a Sunrise

High above the world I sit and I watch.

The dark blue velvet sky turns pale as the morning sun shows her proud face.

The yellow moon hangs in pale blues

And pinks and purples,

And slowly sets its weary head down to rest after a long, sleepless night.

In the distance lights flicker on and off,

And on again.

Lovers stir in their beds

And birds begin to chirp, singing out a morning song.

The pinks and purples fade away and the sky reveals her crystal clarity,

Like a sapphire expanding across the heavens.

The sun's golden rays dart across the sky, warming the earth.

Dreams fade to memory and the world slowly sits up.

A new day has begun.
