Oh sunrise, you must be so lonely.
Hardly a soul spends time with you
before you coalesce into the day.
Your sister, sunset, is the Hollywood star
everyone knows. Yet sunrise, you are
just a hometown hero for early risers.
You are not as majestic as the mountains,
or encompassing as the sea.
With no complaint and little praise,
you do your job tirelessly.
Could you learn a new color or two?
Put on a skit with the moon?
To make more people interested in you?
Would you want to?
Or are you happy to share your moment
with just a few?
