Here. Now. In an instant,
the horizon explodes.
Purples, reds, yellows,
others unnamed, defy description.
Morning blue greets royalty.

Moments pass.
The Sun fully ascends,
above the Sierra Nevada.
Today is born.

Reminded me of the scene last night when President Reagan was laid to rest. He had a beautiful sunset, and today the sun will rise as you describe, without him.
