It’s a dawn day afternoon
Peaceful and dark
Fog covering all over the huge windows
Seeing everything dooms like shattered pieces

Bright and early as the sun rises
The blistering heat fights through the fog
Moving from down south across the valley woods

Suddenly it shines all over the windows
Sparkling and beaming
Rays of light reflecting on the colorless panes

It shines so bright
You could see your fingerprints
Pasted on the tinted windows
