SUNRISE
By Bob Serrao

            I downstage the frosty-dark colors of night
                                    to a laser light...
                                                ...BLINDING!...
                                                            ...BLAZING!...
                        and splash wild brilliance
                                    across a golden horizon!
                                                'BREATHTAKING!' some say.
            Then, I grab the mountains
                        as a fingergrip...
                                    and gently roll this earth over
                                                to dawn a priceless gift
                                                            to you...
                                                                        a baby-fresh day!
            It is sunrise!
                        ...filled with hope...
                                    ...with promise...
                                                ...with presence...
                                                            ...MY PRESENCE.
                                                                        (let it dawn on you)
