Tension builds as daylight’s momentum slows to a beautiful speed. The earth anticipates the sun’s exit. The sun gathers his remaining strength to release his final burst of energy. He sends out pulses in colors: purple, orange, pink, blue, red, and gold. The waves of hues pass over the ocean, sand, forest, homes, and roadways. They pass through people and leave them breathless. The vibrations then settle. They release a collective sigh and seep into the earth, who swells with anxiety and color. The earth finally gives in to the sun’s departure, taking solace in the though that he will return to her tomorrow. The earth will soon be dark, but for now, the sea and the ground glow with heavenly light.
