Dawn makes a welcoming appearance
over the green mountains surrounding the valley.
Tired eyes open wide to see the sky
light up a baby blue,
bringing back sudden childhood memories
of laying in freshly trimmed grass.
One slow but steady breath
opens up lungs that hang dearly onto
the new day air.
Through a small bustle of trees
and mountain sides,
the horizon becomes a musky orange
from both pollution and sunlight.
Miles away, but close enough to see
with the naked eye,
city lights disappear one by one
as natural light creeps it’s way
across the valley with every breath it takes.
Both sounds of birds and industry
hit eardrums to complete the scene.
Sounds of cars starting and
wives saying goodbye
as suburban life wakes
to mother natures call.
It’s a new day.
All senses take it in with
every second that passes by.
The world is awake and singing
good morning.
