Bob Gibson - A Coromandel Dawn

Fifteen miles across the bay
That's where the Coromandel lay
Along its shore, the twinkling light
Of cars and street lamps of the night

Above the Coromandel range
Dawns first light will rearrange
The colors' of the sky and sea
From blood red, orange to Ecstasy

Those wispy clouds just for a spell
Seem to be lit by the fires of hell
The sky has changed from black to blue
The sea has changed in color too

Clouds, stars, a waxing moonI
It seems, its over all to soon
I bathe my eyes in this glorious time
When I'm alone with natures rhyme

Colors fade from the cloak of night
As the sun beams out its eastern light
Tomorrow / today will be reborn?
With the promise of another dawn

Bob Gibson
