To Sketch You A Sunrise Poem by Susan Lacovara

To Sketch You A Sunrise

Rating: 5.0


If I, to sketch you a sunrise,
On an empty calling canvas
New and all your own
I'd use the kindest colors, soft
And pencil-in the break of day
Muting the horizon
As it emerges from a long night's sleep
To announce the sweet approach of light
Pale blue bands from the ocean's caress
Pink, as if from the bliss
of my first good morning kiss
Yellow, YES! Yellow, always yellow
Certain, that every day starts "sunny side up"
And green, my gush of lush greens,
ever gracing our wooded walking ways
Then dipping my brush into pillowy billowy white
Tenderly dotting the sky with cotton clouds
Which never threaten to turn stormy
Streaks of lavender (like that we sprinkle into our tea)
Coupled with bursts of orange to crack open the day
Glints of silver and strands of gold
All to behold...for you, to you
My most humble hand-painted morning "Hello"

After sunrise an empty sky is painted with sun-rays. As it emerges from a long night's sleep the announcement is made as per sweet light. An interesting poem is beautifully penned...10
