Colour of Dawn And darkness seeped to colour That stunned silent all present And witness to the everyday Ordinary yet extraordinary And whispers hopeful greeted The advent of light and warmth Though the day could not match The splendour of the dawn And colours would diminish To gradual sky hues Pastel blues and clouded white Until darkness reclaimed The memories of the day That began in such perfect palette _____________________________ To witness such a beautiful sunrise from above the clouds on a flight towards home, was a privilege and a special moment.
