the sun eases its way
into the sky,
a beautiful bruise
on the clouds
of the horizon,
a portent
of the coming day
Tag: sunrise
Cancun Morning
a sharp crescent moon
backlights the dark armies
of clouds
marching across
the morning sky;
the air is thick
with the warm potential
of the coming day;
Nature's silence
stretches to
a slowly pinkening horizon:
a wave crashes,
a bird calls,
the wind moves
through the palms;
to experience this moment
is to know beauty
