The Sunrise in Every SeasonA Poem by Glen Thompsonit is early in the morning the grass is wet with dew, and there is a bunny in the far corner of the yard i sit in a chair. it is high off the ground; my feet only graze the wet grass the sun is turning pink, yellow towards the bottom my family is asleep i wonder if they know i'm not in bed i almost like the idea that they don't the clouds puff and swell around the sky, turning every color barely 30 minutes pass and it is over the birds are singing and the apples in the trees are red it is a beautiful summer and an even more beautiful sunrise it is early in the morning the leaves crunch under my feet, and there is a pumpkin in the far corner of the yard i sit in a chair. it is high off the ground; my feet only graze the crisp leaves the sun is soft and yellow, a beautiful accent to the red and orange trees my family is asleep i wonder if they know i'm not in bed i almost like the idea that they don't the clouds are dark around the sun, promising an ominous and graceful day barely 30 minutes pass and it’s over the sun is warm even as the air is chilly it is a beautiful autumn and an even more beautiful sunrise it is early in the morning i have to wear boots to protect my feet from the gentle bed of snow, and there is a snowman in the far corner of the yard i sit in a chair. it is high off the ground; the blanket wrapped around me only grazes the wet snow the sun is white, an blurring in with the pink and blue sky, with the grey clouds my family is asleep i wonder if they know i'm not in bed i almost like the idea that they don't the clouds blend into the sky; i cannot tell where they end and the sky begins barely 30 minutes pass and it's over i am shivering in the cold, and my nose is running it is a beautiful winter and an even more beautiful sunrise it it early in the morning the ground is cold under my feet, a leftover chill from the winter. there is a flower growing in the far corner of the yard i sit in a chair. it is high off the ground, and i let my feet graze the dandelions the sun is pastel, the color diluted in the season, and the clouds are calm and numerous my family is asleep i wonder if they know i'm not in bed i almost like the idea that they don't the clouds stand out, silvery white against the soft blue sky barely 30 minutes pass and it's over it is a beautiful spring, and an even more beautiful sunrise it is early in the morning i don't know why im awake it could be because i did not sleep the night before i am tired i am confused i am scared i want to hurt myself yet the sun promises a new day, a new life if i want it i love the sun, and i know she loves me it is a beautiful life, and an even more beautiful sunrise © 2018 Glen Thompson |
