Morning colors

First, it's a blueish gray

fighting with midnight black

Then, a friendly silver comforts blue, 

as if to say, 

"Don't worry, buddy, help is coming".

and then, they arrive - 

A half a dozen peaches, 

a few hand-picked pinks,

and right up until the last moment, 

one or two oranges also got up onto the stage - 

waiting, patiently, for that one moment

for that glorious bolt

of pure yellow

to herald in

another colorful day.

Heheh... sounds like there's quiet a crowd on the stage :)

More like a game of fruit ninja.. I think that's what it's called slicing the fruits reminded me of that ..

Thanks Richard. Funny story connected to this one - I did not actually see the sun rise, but while I am writing it in the lounge, my wife calls me to another room, saying, "Come look at the sun". Sometimes our imagination runs ahead of the real thing...:)

Lol, you just never know when that inspiration will come.
