Sunrise

 

Sunrise;

Hues of red and gold

A watercolor sky

Repeats its reflection

In the lake

One last heron

On a slender leg

Stands still

Head tucked neatly

Beneath the wing

Feathers a chameleon

Of the morning

 

Sunrise;

The dragonflies’ bold

Colored wings fly

In all directions

Leaving the wake

Of their sound on

Tall cattails

Tipped brown chenille

Heads bobbing

Blue green drakes glisten

With the sun’s rising

 

The moment passes in a blink

Of time and the day starts with a wink.
