penultimate......

morning......

:{

I got up before the sun

actually,

before anyone else.

I made coffee

and watched as the sun made the sky lighter

there was a band of clouds across the

horizon

marching from the north to the south

I was thinking about how long

humans have been doing this

watching the sun come back from the dark void

here on the ocean

it appears out of the sea

second by second

nothing can stop it

no one can stop it

we stand each one of us

and look as a new day begins

people starting appearing

some in heavy jackets

bracing against the wind

others in their pajamams

hot cup of coffee cradled against them

steam rising and whirling about their face

couples standing on the stairs

arms around eachother for warmth

maybe watching the

"last sunrise"

in a split second

the hot orange orb peeks above the clouds

and rises seemingly faster now

up into the sky breaking free of the watery horizon

perfectly round

ancient

ever present

but new

each and every day

and we humans stand and watch as if it were the first time
