Some think the sunrise happens all at once. The sun bursts over the edge of the earth And suddenly golden rays Shower the world!
They're wrong. The sunrise happens slowly, almost imperceptible. The darknes starts to lose its edge. The blackness goes from black to dark grey. Then dark grey to light grey. Until without noticing you look around and you can see clearly. Then over the horizon peaks the edge Of the glowing, life bringing orb that floats in our sky. That's when the golden rays come, and warm your very soul.
