Sunrise.

This was a sonnet that I had to write for Intro. to Poetry. I really liked how it came out and I didn't revise it at all.

Sunrise

I see a sky full of beauty,
And of sadness untold
Taking care of the lost is its duty;
Its colors though, I still behold.
Holding onto those who have passed;
Those taken too soon or for reasons inhumane.
Photographs make their memory last,
Still, without them, I’m not the same.
As the sun rises, I look around,
To find a fading star that draws me in.
My sluggish eyes shut and I don’t hear a sound;
Thinking about what could have been.
To all, my best wishes as I end this prayer,
And love that I feel you in this cold, morning air.
