writer. maker.
It starts off
as the slightest lightening
in the colourless dark,
almost imperceptible at first
and then,
a little bolder,
and soon enough
the rose-gold glow
colours the sky
from east to west.
It starts out so small,
just a scratch of light
against the darkness,
but you know the might of the sun,
and you keep watching
as the dark is dissolved in to light.
