Dawn....

The stillness of that moment
just before the first glimmer of light
when all are tucked up sleep
never seeing the dawn's colours bright

The world bathed in darkness
there's a peacefulness all around
before the sky is splashed with colours
as the sun pops its head above ground

With each passing minute
the sky is forever changing
like a giant artist's palet
colours are always rearranging

Long dark shadows stretching far
moving as the sun rises higher
as our world begins to wake up
accompanied by the dawn"s choir
