Early in the morning one may
sometimes observe a phenomenon,
that is not rarely happening,
only rarely observed:
the underglow..

Probably rare as it appears
very early in the morning,
and then only very briefly,
perhaps less than a minute.

Clouds are above you,
but not around the horizon,
rising sun illuminates sky from belov.

Very early sunlight sometimes
mingles golden with orange,
then any cloud
above you seems to glow,
sometimes in flames
the sky as a sea of fire,
right above your head.

But like fire,
this sight is quickly coming,
quickly gone...
