Ra spreads a safflower glow
across his kingdom
kissing each possession
with flaming lips of passion

As we watched the glorious sunset bathing everything it touched in a golden beauty, haiku after haiku came to mind. It was enthralling to watch the light dance on the river at the Soo Locks. To see an ordinary plume of smoke look like spun yellow gold. A bridge turn from a steel structure to a golden highlighted necklace for the evening sky. No wonder the ancients worshiped such a sight.
