Rise and shine

Photo of the pre-sunrise glow in the horizon.

A prolonged labour—
then gloriously crowning,
sun rises; rejoice!

Marvel

Photo of the run reflected in the glass window of a tall building, as seen from a building opposite to it.

Eye of the tower
glowing with Cyclops power—
marvel of the sun.

Frames

Photo of the horizon just before the sunrise, as seen from under the canopy of a large fig tree, its low-lying branches and the grass framing the horizon.

Low-lying branches
framing pre-dawn horizon
natural portraits

Up

Photo of the sun rising from behind the trees. — Photo credit: my brother.

From beyond the trees,
like a dead man arising—
the sun gathers mist.

Shine on

Photo of the pinkish sky and a sliver of the sun setting on the horizon.

In its dying light,
fleeing imminent darkness,
our sun shines brightest.
