The soft touch of morning / Rises to meet the late breaking day / Covered up and clouded, and looking lonely.

Adventures Pen
Envy. Mixed with pride and shaken well, creates the emotion around the endeavor / Taken so forthrightly on, with little hesitation and with adventures pen of promise, / marking an others victory.
