beauty of the Sun

beauty is promised

within each 24 hours of

Earth’s planetary spin

first, you awoke

mourning doves sang

if you’d decided, you could

watch the glowing ascent of a

morning rising sun

and while it may only last

a moment or two

such a time comes again

when the day is yielding its end

and there, you can view

a day’s daily close

illuminate grey clouds

in all shades of rose

ambers and apricots,

if you’re lucky, even crimson

but keep a watchful eye

for short minutes pass fast

before your

technicolour show

again, starts to dim

and such a cycle repeats

day after day

short spans of time

fleeting away

yours to capture

if only for a chance

to witness moving beauty

as the sky’s colours dance
