Light

The sunrise is a gift.
Intensifying yellows and pinks,
Culminating in the sight of our star.

And I thought, as we all turned back to our cars,
Ready to avoid the wind and get home
For breakfast or a nap,

How easy to forget that the day
Is also a gift,
As the grey of twilight becomes the colors of dawn.

Undoubtedly a man born blind
Would appreciate the sunrise.
But I suspect he would appreciate
The persistent colors of day more.
