There is something about the sunrise
the way little by little the light elevates,
lifting the curtains from the nighttime sky
and creating ever so pale shades of color
An egret flaps its wings seemingly without effort
and reaches the height of the tallest tree to perch
above its head a barely blue sky blended in sheer white clouds
around it thousands of trees preserved for their green vibrance
below a quiet lake with ripples of only the smallest creatures
Sounds are of waking birds
chirps and squawks, whistles and trills
two blue herons welcome us to the day
soaring out from the preserve, across the lake
over our heads and our home in greatness
All God's creatures know as the sun rises
a new day begins and possibilities are endless
The early bird gets the worm
and the early person gets a show
Nature at sunrise

| Lily loves the dawn as much as I do. |
