Grey Dawn

Clouds in the east
obscuring the rise
of the orb that adorns
our vast, arching skies

My waking was late
In a hurry I fled
Departing abode
down the road I sped

And rounding the bend
to the open land
on the west I beheld
a sight, oh so grand

The sun, still veiled
from my view, did sneak
Its rays through the clouds
to our snow capped peak

Grey clouds as a backdrop
the mountain did stand
aglow in the dawn
looking o’er the grey land

So rushed though I was
I did slow my drive
to take in the splendor,
enjoy being, alive
