Night And Day

Dawn was slow and steady
Bleeding across the grey sky
Red, yellow, and orange
Sweeping unfolding bird wings

Night fades away
Black wings folding inward
Eyes closing as the sun rises

The fire spread and spread
Songs rose to greet the new day
The leaves rustled in the morning breeze
Flowers opened their blooms skyward

But in the shadows the night waited
Turned in upon herself but alert
She would return and reign again once more

i like how nature folds itself and unfolds itself in this...

this poem unfolds in a beautiful way...imagery and phrasing shines like a newborn sun at dawn.
