Sideways Sunrise Poem by Karin Elizabeth Martin

I see the sun coming up
It is so beautiful and different
Now in the summer it seems to come
Over the mountains sideways
It lights up different areas
Alternate memories in my mind
My heart feels nostalgic
I see the light every day
But here it is in my kitchen
Making shadows dance on walls
The trees try to obscure it from view
But it is so warm in my heart
I always wait in the early hours
For the rays to show me their colors
Red sky in the morning, not always a warning
The kaleidoscope of colors at sunset
Showing me different meanings
Some one taught me about suns healing
I remember the words they spoke
Don't ever miss one
The vision is anew
Thank you for your warmth
God bless your reaching rays
For who knows how many productions
Of your grace will come my way
