Unseen dawn

Sleeping in the dawn,
Colors all around.
Dew quietly glistens;
Breeze begins to stir.

Trees start to whisper,
Rousing the birds
From sleepy nests.
Chatter begins to grow.

Nature, slowly wakening,
Busily starts the day.

Sun slowly rising
Changes color
From moment to moment
Slowly cascading.

As water falling down
Gets caught in the lake
And keeps building,
Soon the sun is full,
And day is dawned-
Bright and crisp.

Dew recedes,
Colors settle,
Sleeper rouses
Having missed
The awesome beauty
Of the dawn.
