Sunrise on the Horizon

Subtle Changes

By Stephen Chan WahPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I have not seen the sunrise in a while

But today is different

I woke up to see lines of light

Peaking into my room from behind the curtains

I checked the time to see big and bright

Its six am and the sun has just woken up here too

I part my curtains and all the dust particles begin to dance in the rays of sunshine

My room is dusty

Well, lets clean it

As if like a flower chosen by God

As all flowers are

When the sun kissed my skin

It lit my heart ablaze

The energy from the star of day invigorated me to start my day in the right way

I danced with my cat to the music of my parent's time because I wanted to feel closer to them and they are so far away

I messaged some friends I haven't spoken to in ages because the days used to fly by so fast, it felt like a burden to reach out

But today is different

Today without a doubt is different

Because the sun made me feel to write again

And I have not written in ages

Because the days before felt so short, too short,

To do anything worth saving, worth recording or worth remembering

But I would like to remember today for years to come

So cheers to the Sunrise on the Horizon
