sunrise in shades of grey

I couldn't

Sleep

So restless

Ran

As fast as I could

To the top of the hill.

Sydney Park

Still in darkness

Odd walkers about

With dogs impatient

Straining on leads

Like me.

I sat foetal

Hugging my knees

On the still

Monochrome grass

Panting red-faced

Desperately

Waiting for the first

Sunrise

Without you

But it would not come.

Cold city walls

Still shrouded by

Layers of Colin McCahon 

Grey
Greeted me
instead. 
Amusing no?
It was beautiful

but

I'd hoped

for 
Colour.
