The rising sun

casting optimistic rays

of pink and golden hue;

Rainbows

captured in the glistening dew;

Sparkling prisms

dancing with pride's colours,

the bright hopes of a brand new morn,

masking prior scorn

and the dismay of feeling forlorn...

A new beginning momentarily blurring memories of dark nights;

A morning kiss;

bliss,

until encrusted eyes clear,

awakening forgotten fears,

casting shadows on the glory of the new day,

dulling the sunrise in a most disheartening play,

the respite of sleep slipping silently away.

Impassioned dreams

lost in sweet slumber,

it seems...
