Growing Sunrise

[Bianca Alabaster]

The sky started as
a hint of pink
in my side mirror

then the lighter blue
came to embellish
the pink hue
expanding

the clouds picked
up the colors
which began
to have a dash
of orange and
a spray of yellow

oh the orange
grew a deep fire
warming my soul
and making the woods
look ablaze with heat

the mountains
though cold in the
distance were proud
to be a backdrop
for her Majesty
Queen Sunrise

And the grassy
puddle in the
field was honored
to give a small
reflected portrait
of her to the world
even though he's
her footstool.
