Nightly show

The sun bleeds through the clouds

It touches the water

and melts

spreading to the beach,

 tendrils creeping to the shore

Everything takes on its hue

and reinterprets:

from orange to red

from gold to ochre 

and every variation along the way.

A nightly display

of spectacular beauty

no two performances the same.

Commonplace, perhaps

but always worth

taking the time

to view

and marvel.
