Sunrise by kneazle

Rising up from the ground
Silence spreading fingers
Morning shadows gather round
I watch the Sunrise.

Palest pink and sweetest rose
Tendrils growing in the sky
Angels' flame: the mystery light 
I watch the Sunrise.

Claiming back lands above
Fair armies roaming wide
Chasing back night and sleep
I watch the Sunrise

The silent fanfare calls to all
Herald of the morning time
Firm matron of the peoples below
I watch the Sunrise.

Lonely star in the sky
A mournful caller for company
Friend which the moon left behind
I watch the Sunrise.

Duty done and life unfroze
Job now finished for the time
Retreating to the highest sky
My farwell to the Sunrise.

An excellent poem! I think you should try to improve "Friend which moon did flee and leave behind" because it's a bit too long - plus 'did' in that sentence doesn't seem right. "and friend the moon left behind" might be better?

I think I've had days where I've noticed every nuance of the day and sunrise in particular, this poem takes me through the journey well :)

This is something I really enjoyed reading. 
It's inspired me to write about the sunset, if you don't mind me doing so. (:

I am fourteen, I've written two novels (nanowrimo anyone?) and many poems. Aiming to be published at some point in the vague and hazy future...but till then pfft. I'll keep writing for the hell of it.
