SUNRISE OPERA
By: C. Burns
Originally written 4/28/00

In the early morning mist sat I.
Breathing in the fresh air and
Looking up to the vibrant sky,
I appreciate the wonder of this land.

As the orchestra of the sun does play
Along the world along the sky,
Thundering magical music of the day,
I slowly begin to cry.

As the morning birds take to flight,
I realize not many people really see
The wondrous conversion to day from night
And how heart moving it can be.

We must take time to look around us,
To see the world in which we abide.
To cast off the pollution and the fuss,
Then life and magic will coincide.
