Winter Sunrise

 

It is quiet

It is still

It is dark

It is cold

 

A fox dreams

An owl hoots

A rabbit stirs

 

The snow is thick

The earth sleeps

 

The sky is black

The stars shine

The moon watches

The world turns

 

The east flickers

The sky lights up

Pink, orange and purple

Yellow, crimson and red

 

The sun rises

The light is strong

The sky is blue

The earth warms

The snow softens

 

A breeze blows

The trees creak

A robin chirps

The fox awakes

 

A new day has dawned
