Dusk or Dawn?

Dawn. Definitely. Woke up early today and went for a morning jog and I must say, mornings are beautiful. With the slightly misty air and morning dew clinging to the leaves, it was a fresh breath of air. Okay, I might not be making any sense now, but what I'm trying to say is, I prefer mornings to evenings.

In the morning, the sky's blue. A clear, lovely shade of brilliant blue and the clouds are fluffy. And the best thing about it is you can look up at the sky as long as you want to without feeling the glare of the sunlight. Because at that time, the sun has not fully awaken yet and it's all soft and mellowly. Just enough to light up the sky but not yet enough to scald you. There's no need to squint and you can just relax while your skin absorbs its Vitamin D. There are no cars or motorcycles sprinting on the street so at least the air is not dusty, yet. The wind is cool and refreshing on your face and you just feel alive. Though I must say, it's a really really bad idea to go for a morning jog before having any food in your tummy cause I felt faint-ish afterwards, and ran less than I usually do.

Dusk usually signifies the day is ending. Although yes the sky's beautiful too, with lovely shades of purple and pink, but it lasts so short there's barely time to enjoy it. Plus, the sky soon turns dark and there's no longer any outdoor activity. Everyone retreats indoor to prepare for dinner and bed. On the other hand, dawn signifies a new day, a new beginning. It's full of hopes and possibilities and I just simply love it.
