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.
