Sunrise

tranquil talks end, night breaks into colour,

shall I compare thee to a sunrise new,

bringing colour into mine dark cover,

let me wake up as fresh grass, leaves and dew.

soft light and perfect breeze caress my skin,

shall I compare thee to a sunrise new,

who shows itself through the clouds thick and thin,

are you the bird I saw, oh how you flew.

winter mornings do break my steady sleep,

shall I compare thee to a sunrise new,

the winter fire that warms my fingertips,

I feel the embers when you are gone too.

the sky changes colour and so do I,

the day is born anew and so am I...
