Sunrise Over an Australian Beach


Velvet ebony
To the color of wet steel
Dyed indigo.
A shy hint of violet
Blossoming to rose.
Gold spreading over the waves.
Dawn.

  1. Technically the photo is from my aunt and uncle's place in Port St. Joe, FL. The poem was written about the time I watched the sun rise while sitting on a beach in Northern Australia. I could have changed the title, but it had sentimental value. I think it is a good pairing, even if it isn't completly accurate.
