The grey begins to fade,As colour creeps from leaf to limb.
The light is slowly seeping up,From beneath the earth's curved rim.
The sky blue strengthens slowly,Glazed with hues of orange and red.
Slowly as the earth revolves,The sun lifts up it's head.
Colours shimmer in the lightAnd shapes begin to unveil.
The trees and flowers separate,With the dawn light rosy and pale.
The sun climbs higher in the sky.It's light shimmering and warm.
All things now are clearly seen.A new day has been born.
