Golds, yellows, reds
oranges, purples and rose;
The fading greys of night, the shifting oceanic blues of dusk –
mellow beams of radiant light
and soft warmth gilding everything/one
in their path.
Glittering jewels in the crown
of the dawn.
Her ascent and coronation
are the day, and
as further it expands,
becoming potential itself,
the sky bursts alive with color, aglow with the Sun’s fires.
All awake
stunned into quiet awe
as sunrise makes her marks
on the unblemished canvas
of a new day’s genesis…
The most precious gift of the day
is the small moment where all is
blissfully calm, and nothing stirs:
a collective stillness
a moment of pure oneness with the Universe
sunrise is a daily infusion of Nirvana
before the plunge into
the perpetual routine busyness
of the mortal world.

Just Before Sunrise
I decided not to meditate this morning.
Instead, I sat outside breathing the crisp, cool, autumn air
and watched the dawn paint the sky with its cotton candy colors
while the leftover silvery beams of the moon’s light
began to dampen and fade to wisps
becoming the shimmering dew on the grass, the sparkling diamond droplets on the spiders’ silky webs,
And the sleepy mistiness of the early day that
always comes just before sunrise.
