Sunrise Poem by Laurence Overmire

Sunrise

There is no painting
Greater
Than the masterpiece of the morning sky.

The brushstrokes splash across the canvas of day
In luminescent color
Crimson, amber, violet and gold
On a pure, clean background of impetuous blue.

With each rising sun
Life awakens, hope beckons
The darkness is rolled away.
