Sunrise With You

(Life In The Woods)

 Soft yellow sunshine

Breaks atop the rolling peaks

Of West Virginia mountains.

Together we sit

On the banks of a muddy river,

Gazing sheepishly upon

The scenery before us.

It is dawn —

The beginning of a new day.

For some it’s the beginning of a new life.

For us,

It can be regarded

As a reminder

That we were created for each other.

See the great golden orb rising

Up into the violet sky,

Glowing brighter and stronger with each second.

Many creatures stir in the forest

Beneath the light of the rising sun

And give life to woody slopes and brown riverbanks.

Such is our love…

It brightens a dull life

And warms a chilly heart.

Fate, perhaps coincidence, managed to uite

Two paths which began

So far apart.

Here at this wonderful

Sunrise

We are where we should

Have always been:

Together.
