At the Bus Stop ~ Before the Sun

This poem has been inspired by the scenery around me as I wait at a bus stop on the early morning work days:

Before the Sun

Black corners
Accept the shades of night
from sky to earth
textured by nature and humankind

Black edges
softened by starlight and moonlight
air dampened by ocean breezes
feel soft as a velvet pillow

Blackened smudges float
silently through a lightening sky
colourless while the sun still sleeps
patiently awaiting a pastel palette of corals and reds.

“Through the blackest night, morning 
gently tiptoes, feeling its way to dawn.”
