sunrise


So a girl looks out upon the world... the same world she has looked out upon on many a day... and sometimes she sees clearly her familiar world with its shadows and its dappled light, with its colours and its shade, with its flowers and its rocks... and sometimes she sees little of her world around her, she sees only through the screen of her eyes, seeing instead the world of swirling thoughts and technicolour ideas that live behind her eyes...
and then one day... a girl looks out upon the world, the same world she has looked out upon on many a day... and today she sees a perfect sunrise. Today she realises that her world is her familiar world, but it is not the same. Today she realises that although it is her world, it is made new by the dawn of a perfect sunrise... and a sky rich with colour and possibility.
A girl looks out upon a sunrise and she smiles...
