First trace of pink
edges the line
illuminates the boundary
where dark earth meets dark sky
Midnight blue retreats
to that void, starless and Bible Black
while the low heavens glow
Cornflower sea
where billowing riders advance
Violet, malevolent
malevioletly back lit
Colors rise in waves
the great orange orb ascends
Rush of air
as earth breaths deep
First gasp of a new day
The advance have climbed
now soft lavender dragons
straining for the west
the eternal dawn at their tails
