waking to a burning sunrise
clouds billowing vermilion and gold
like scorched pillows
against a bruised sky
my open eyes recoil in distress
waking to a burning sunrise
frantically trying to recapture
the euphoria of dreams
once more lashes flutter and reveal
the swollen fiery sky
waking to a burning sunrise
my horror changed to glee
when softer light diffused the morning
and harmony returned
no longer would I cringe and cower
waking to a burning sunrise
