I awaken to find it’s still dark

I know dawn will be upon me soon

I open my eyes to see the possibilities of a new day

I am near the ocean, I can hear the waves crashing

smell the salty air

 

I run to see this glorious site

as I approach, the sky becomes majestic

colors ignite and singe the sky

it’s a watercolor world win of oranges and pinks

of purples and greens

 

a medley of an artist’s palette

the colors burn the sky

and glitter like firecrackers.

I’m in rapture, with spiritual connections

the sun has peaked its head from behind the horizon

 

how could the world be round?

when all I can see is a flat edge straight across the sea
