Battle for Dawn

Dawn came late today, delayed by the lingering cloud cover of Hurricane Sandy.  When light finally did find its way through, it was not the soft blend of red, orange, and pink of a breathtaking sunrise; but a silver that made me think of burnished steel.

It was as though the only way for light to return was to slice through the clouds with sweeping strokes of a heavenly sword.

The sword and clouds warred throughout the day with clouds winning back the field with the approach of desk.

Perhaps tomorrow's dawn will bring the blood red of a finished battle.
