When the first signs of dawn show against the black sky it begins. You begin to hear insects buzzing, chirping, however they can make their presence known. As the light begins to change the sky to colors of deep blue and grey, you begin to hear the fish breaking the water's surface and catching a meal, or splashing around joyfully. More light enters and the sky turns to hues of deep purple. You begin to hear leaves crackling under the weight of our reptile friend's movements. Immediately the sky bursts in streams of orange as the birds sing their beautiful songs and swoop through the air on their magnificent wings. Then red and yellow speckles the sky with specs of blue and lavender woven throughout. The songs get louder and the small mammals arrive. You hear the scurrying feet of the field mice and squirrels begin to leap acrobatically from tree branch to tree branch. As the sky turns golden, the earth itself begins to awaken. A light breeze blows, trees dance, and water flows. The hope of a new day, the hope of life.
