I never knew a sunrise could be pink.
The photos can't do it justice.
Let’s start from the top.
Blue sky, streaked with white clouds.
A band of pale yellow, almost golden.
Thick, puffy clouds, just above the horizon.
Let’s start from the bottom.
A grassy field, speckled with ferns.
A line of trees, swaying in the breeze.
The lights of a city in the distance.
Blue mountains, rising and falling.
And in the middle of it all, a pink color I’ve never seen in nature, rivaled only by the perfect flowers I see in ads.
The sunrise is never the same, but I hope to see that color again someday.

Autumn leaves
This year, the leaves feel new.
I have seen them every fall
as far back as I can remember,
but this year
the colors are different,
more vibrant.
They stand out in a way
that I have never seen.
I tried to take a picture -
Orange
I didn’t know the moon could be orange
Not the color of a pumpkin, not quite
Almost a pumpkin pie, but translucent
With silver shining through
It wasn’t full
But made even more beautiful
By the imperfection -
Spinning
Spinning and spinning and spinning
Light feet, dancing on the ground
The dangerous game of balance
One wrong step, a slip, a fall
Streaks of colors
The same tree, over and over again
