Sunrise

My fingers tapped
As I surveyed the world below
The winds toulsed at my hair
I sat on the windowsill, alone
Pre-dawn light
Gave the sky that melancholy hue
The world was still dark
Yet the gray-ish sky held a hint of blue
In that moment
I knew the world was still asleep
No one would bother me
My heart was truly at peace
I closed my eyes
Taking the smell of wet grass
Birds chirped in the distance
And I wondered how long this'll last
Met with the sight of the world stirring
As my lashes fluttered open
Astounded by the rustle of life
Despite the eerie silence
I felt something ignite inside me
You could see it in my eyes
My gaze just above the mountain ridge
As I watched the sun rise
