Beautiful Morning

We thank God for mornings like this,

nothing but the sound of strong waves

as they approach the shore,

the sky tinted with hues of pink and blue as we wait for the sun to rise. 

Raw and beautiful,

no filter needed at all.

At dusk, I watch the skyscrapers come  to life,

As they paint the clouds with a breathtaking skyline

These lights I've seen countless times,

Yet they still hold so much promise

I still find myself almost hypnotized

The same feeling I had at first glimpse

"Will you return to stay longer next time?", they ask

I hear myself whisper, "Someday, you'll see me coming back"
