Misty Morning

The shadows in the stillness
as darkness breaks away
Nocturnal life once more sleeps
and diurnal begins the day.

Through the mist the sky is grey
once more the day is born
A cool breeze swept through the air
the sleepy cool mist of dawn.

The grey blending with bright pink
and life began to dance
The early morning bird calls wakening
across the great expanse.

Then orange loomed on the horizon
the colours becoming one
The applause of nature comes alive
in the rising of the sun.

The shades of dawn slowly fade
with the diminishing mist
The sleepy life awakening
in nature's morning kiss.

The sun illuminating the blue sky
its warmth filters the air
Daytime now alive with activity
in nature everywhere.

"Mornings are glorious! To hear the birds awake and to see the sunrise is as beautiful as the sunset ~ just as colourful and just as magnificent....The beginning of a new day as it dawns is a precious gift for us to enjoy. My mum is a morning person and she often takes a walk at this time to enjoy the beauty and serenity of this hour."
