January 7th shown lockingly gray all day
Clouds, sky and ocean carefully colluded dismissing other colors their comeuppance
Even Mister Sun himself was sequestered out of view
Relegated to a support role strictly, backlit duties…behind the scenes
The descriptive result landing in the Dismal Zone
On coastal days like these onlookers fairly expect a shutout for sunset
However, Nature had a different ending in mind
In subtle gradient bliss the water glowed center stage
Drinking in and displaying subdued yet radiant tones galore
