Beginnings End

Shadows grow long as the day begins its end to this

beautiful summer day, which had shown the

colors of morning at 5:30 am.

 

Orange and yellow so brilliant, it just seems annoying

now as we drive towards it on our

way to work each day.

 

No trace of that orange and yellow, just overwhelming

brightness as the day begins to play.

 

Light reflects from windshield to windshield, building

to building. Mirages appear on the road ahead, of

ponds and puddles as we navigate the swells in

the road as these obstacles appear.

 

As cars rush by, blue, yellow, red and green,

streaks of flattened color create the morning’s end.

 

A spectrum of color moves throughout the day as we

see glints of magic from our cubical through a

window across a walkway.

 

We sit and wonder, with one leg on our desk as we peer

through the window in awe.

 

As the day’s end begins, in the opposite direction we

drive, the colors are sharp and pure

gold, green, blue and white,

fade to black and the beginning of night.
