In a myriad of warm and cold hues

Like a gust, the flesh it chills

But with warmth, the heart it fills.

Is tinted a shade darker, or one grey

By the viewer’s woe or emotions fey.

Out of dreams and swevens, at a crepuscular time

To find the Sun chasing their chest

Easterly pursuing their dismal West.

At such a pursuit, one may run their eyes,

As they slowly sit and sip the sunrise.
