Sunrise
March 23, 2016
The sparrow alit on window frame
To exalt October's name
Fore the world was color yet
And the night with sound beset.
His chirp breached insipid air,
Roused me from my bed to stare
At dedicated herald of the dawn,
Celebrating the darkness withdrawn.
We observed conjointly the lightening sky,
Nature's meteorologist and I,
Sun setting aflame the leaves,
That had the day prior been verdant green.
