During the pearly light of dawn,
I thought I heard the sun
announce its imminent approach
just below the eastern horizon.
It began as a soft murmur
in subdued tints of rosy gray,
reflecting off the cold waves
of Lake Superior.
Then the sun flared into sudden sight,
and golden trumpets played the new day.
