San Diego Sunrise

~ 6am San Diego Sunrise ~

Catching a San Diego sunrise from our third floor balcony I notice: 

still waters, moored sail boats, duck pairs drifting on the surface

white gulls with huge wing spans swooping, gliding close to me

in the distance, planes approaching the airport nearby - or leaving

to the south of my panorama, white sails quietly slice the silence

while sun glistened cars beyond the water begin streaming 

by 8am folks on the boats are moving on and leave the bay

others enter from the channel to pass through on their way

the mist burns off bringing bright sunny gilt-edged clouds

an indulgence of beauty on this first vacation morning  

a solitary moment to absorb before the rest arise

and the day begins its lovely family bustle
