Analysis of Morning Rise



Quietly darkness takes leave
Unveiling a pale blue
With wisps of cloud
Tinted pink

An Atlantic bound jet reflects
The ascending sun
Akin to a minute mirror
Slowly beyond sight

Soft morning light ignites
Full throated song
And an intense vibration
Of wings

Towards the east the moon
Fruit shaped stands like a
Sentinel to what went before
