Here comes the sun
I see it rising
Shaded pastels
Paint the birth of a new day
From deep water far away
It emerges once again
A lone ray strikes me
At the center of my heart
Pink-tinted silhouettes
Stand in its prominent glow
As the waves gently wash up on shore
Still, it continues to rise
Wispy, white clouds
Bask in its splendor
It casts its omnipresent light
On the soft sands below
Majestic purple streaks across the sky
The birds glide softly on the wind
Rocks stand still
Amidst the flow of water
The clouds part ways
A pink hue appears
The blue sky brightens
And the sun peeks over the horizon
Pulling itself up from the abyss
It grows larger
Its burning beauty
Seeps its way into my consciousness
Half an orb
It shines opposite the blue-tinted moon
Blindingly brilliant
Create illusions of delusion
A fiery orb
It breaks free of the horizon
Just above the rocky edge
And into the glowing sky
It casts a reflection into the ocean waters
As golden as the orb itself
Awestruck birds
Take flight once again
The clouds point at the sun
Lighting their tips in color
Silent songs erupt in joy
From nature’s quiet ones
The air is filled with amazement
The sun’s gentle tune ringing through the skies
All is still
All is well

One of my favorite that I have written. Written at 4:30 ish in the morning on a Lake Michigan beach. Or at least I think it was Lake Michigan.

I told you earlier today how I feel about 'nature' sort of poems.
But overall, I like this one.
I can't really say why; probably because it describes a sunrise without seeming too hackneyed.
