sunrise

As the sky begins to lighten
and the clouds begin to part,
she suraces from the horizon
shinging a ray of light into my heart.

Another day is just beginning
but the people have already begun,
in this daily thing that we call life
the race in which we all run.

But on this lonely deserted beach
I am the only one who sits,
watching her rise into the sky
as the earth, her bright light hits.

Then another day has ended,
almost as quickly as it had begun,
another day crossed off the page
with the fall of the setting sun.
