After a night of rain At the barest hint of dawn When the sun emerges from the horizon The east is filled with bright and warm light And the hues of the world once again begin to show When morning dew slips off of bright green grass And the flowers just barely begin to unfurl And the elegant fawns trot back to the forest Where the flora will hide them ‘til dusk A twilight duality When the world around us has begun to awaken But we still slumber While the night’s peace and quiet still fill the air
