WM Set 15.4 Sunrise
Jul. 14th, 2018 01:49 pmIt was still dark when Darius first got out of bed. It was also quiet. There was no alarm to wake him from his slumber, yanking him from peaceful rest with it's infernal noise. He often thought it was no wonder that people in this age seemed to dislike mornings so much, when they often started in such a way.
For him, mornings were easily his favorite part of day. There was nothing he enjoyed more than making his first cup of tea while everything was still and quiet, and then taking it out to the courtyard in order to greet the dawn. To slowly awaken fully, even as the world started to do the same around him, was one of life's simple pleasures.
He smiled as he sipped his tea, feeling the earth start to waken as the colors of night softened. The slow shift from darkness to light, the brightening of the sky in the east, and finally the sun peeking up over the horizon in shades of pink, orange, and gold. The sounds came alive as well, as birds also woke to greet the sun.
There was a peace that came with greeting a new day. Each one full of hope and possibilities. It was an opportunity to start over, and let the darkness of the past wash away in the light of another fresh start. It was a constant renewal that reminded Darius that light and hope would always return, no matter how dark it might seem.
