I love to greet the sunrise. Feeling its quiet opportunity as the world in me and around me slowly awakens. It’s in these early hours that I often find inspiration—being with the tender, fleeting moments.
One morning, as the first light broke over the mountain ridge, I saw a song sparrow take flight. Just as she lifted into the air, the rising sun caught her wing, and for a heartbeat, she was illuminated. I wondered if she was enjoying the moment.
Sparrow at Dawn
first light
framed through open wing
sheer golden glow
illuminating
vane and barb
leaning into warmth
closing her eyes
she floats
