Sunrise


Sunrise

early rise
a new day beginning
the sun will rise
over the ocean waves

quiet and still
I stand here on the sand
waiting for daylight to come
the beauty of the morning
all alone on this beach
waiting for a glimpse of
daylight to come

the small glimpse of color
beyond the horizon
growing brighter and stronger 
with each and every moment
until it appears
strong and bright
yellow goldenrod
in color
daylight has come
daylight has come

I take it all in
this majestic moment
me all alone
standing 
watching
observing
this day's first light

my camera has taken
so many shots
I can't get enough of this
beautiful sight
I later stand 
in my yoga position
breathing in renewal
and 
breathing out unwanted
so grateful to be here
at dawns early light
