Watching the sky at dawn.
Before the sun actually crests the horizon
The dark black of the night becoming the dark blue of the morning
Heralding the new day, like a trumpeter the king, a bird sings out
Wake up and see what I see
Minute by minute the blues are shifting
I am sitting, watching
My naked sad weak human eye cannot see the imperceptible changes that are taking place in front of me
Staring intently
Measuring the hue
Comparing the tone
But I cannot see the changes
And yet I know
The sky is getting lighter
The darkest of blues are becoming so bright
The brightest of blues become white
For a long while we stay in this place of white
The whites begin to take on gold that screams the sun, the sun, he comes, he comes.
This cloud becomes a hot pink banner in the sky
That gold sharpens to bright orange…
I am sitting, watching
All that I see formed from all that I cannot see
We do not see growth
Growth is a change that is not spontaneous
And yet the impact of it is profound
The tree grows silently
The sky changes slowly
All the while screaming glory majesty
