Sunrise

A dark blue expanse of air floats over dewy hills. A thin mist covering the gloomy landscape. A thin yellow-gold shine pierces the early morning mist creating a harsh glow lighting up the landscape. The light slides over the land spreading between the long shadows of trees expelling the former darkness. Drops of morning dew lying on green branches sparkles with the renewed barrage of morning light. The brown branches are illuminated against a backdrop of blue, the thin slivers of light cast over the hill assaulting the weathered trunks.

A slow wind blows through the hills, cast up by the heated land it pushes through the branches. Sparkling jewels of water are spun off their arboreal seats and flung to the waiting winds. The leaves rustle with renewed anticipation sending cooing burns singing from their nests. Following the light to each tree sliding around and welling up in long shadows, the wind slides through the forest creating a small whistle in the early morning air.

Moss, twigs, blades of grass – the floor of the forest sparkle under this new light. The damp ground twinkling like a row of stars as the first raise strike it here, no there. Slowly warming up the ground churns with the constant movement of the first explorers out catching an early start on the morning. Tweeting birds, chattering chipmunks and industrious ants slide through the ground casting themselves over the branches through the new soil their feet making small implants on the damp ground. The first raise set off a hubbub of activity, the once quiet air is filled with the song of birds, the once solemn grounds filed with the activity of the ants and the trees are in commotion with the clambering of small mammals.

Brown trees, green leaves, the dirty ground, gray rocks covered in verdant moss all sparkle with morning dew as they are struck by golden rays. A thin yellow-red light shines into the waiting forest banishing the cloud of black night into a thin veil of dark blue air. A sliver of light striking the forests far below, sliding through the branches and signals the start of a new day.
