Mountain Wave Sunrise
Bright red orange bursts on the horizon while
Pink clouds dance across the sky and
Apricot pink clouds float.
Giant fluffy light magenta clouds stretch to the mountains,
fading into lavender, gray and white.
A glorious start to the day
Bathed in rose and tangerine light.
Pink clouds dance across the sky and
Apricot pink clouds float.
Giant fluffy light magenta clouds stretch to the mountains,
fading into lavender, gray and white.
A glorious start to the day
Bathed in rose and tangerine light.
