Rising

Through morning mist
And coming light
Despairing shadows
Of darkness fade
Light rays reach
Color silently blazes
Corals, the most delicate of blues
I can glimpse it
But in my house in town
Walls and trees and house tops
Hide this glorious unfolding
Communion with a sunrise
With a promise.
In this time of mine
I dont see the glorious unfolding
In the same ways
I must send my mind's eye....
Reveling in a brief glimpse
Remembering many a glorious morning
Where my breathe was caught by the beauty
Did I bask in it enough?
Did it color my soul enough?
To endure through duller times?
When through mist
I saw the coming light
Rays spreading farther
Corals, the most delicate of blues
Warmest yellow
Rising
