The edges of morning are
Fringed in deep clouds of blue
As the sun illuminates
The horizon putting a glow
On the face of the sky

With each passing moment
The sun casts her rays
Painting  the sky
Water color pastels
          
The magic that sunlight
Performs
Awakens gently
The slumbering world
            
Trees silhouette
The sun lite sky
Building and house windows
Become beacons of morning
Flickering their lights

This scene's
A special occasion for me          
Impressed
By the  beauty of morning
I realize work's reward
Is more than money
              
The glory and beauty of morning
Is a bonus
For the early riser
              
I wonder
If those who rise at dawn
Out of necessity everyday
Ever become blinded
To the masterpiece
That morning affords

I'll never look at sunrises the same again.
Not seen many of them. But this piece will remind me  

When freedom wisphers your name, it's time to fight for it.

My dear Songbird friend, how beautiful is this dawning poem of enchantment? You at your very best here...Magnificent! Love, Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Beautiful poem. Every time I sleep late on the weekend, I regret it. The extra hour or two of sleep isn't worth missing the bonus.

You painted the picture beautifully.

Thanks for the beautiful description. Sometimes we need to take the time to "Stop and smell the roses".
