don't speak
don't
speak

don't ruin the moment
the momentous fluid opening
the mouth of the horizon
yawning out
fire
life
light
spilling into the pooled shadows,
the corners of darkness,
the dregs of night
and
suddenly

sunrise.
and its day,
for our side of this little planet.

Thank you so much :)
I don't know about you, but I often yawn when I wake up, lol. 
But thanks for your feedback!

WOW. This is fantastic! You took something as small as a sunrise, and wrote beautiful and meaningful lines to accompany it. WOW, this is truly great. My favorite part is how you personify the horizon into a yawning mouth. I find it ironic how you say the horizon is yawning, and it's daybreak. Random, sorry.   Great job, though!!! 5/5

I agree. Other than the small punctuation error, great job! I also really like the line about the "dregs of night."

Lovely. I loved the lines "the corners of darkness/the dregs of night" – great word choice. In the last stanza, second line, do you mean "and it's day," though? If so, I think you should just go ahead and say "and it is day." Overall, another great poem 5/5
