Moon Rise

20/11/2010

Sunset colors the rising moon
   Night time will be coming soon
But for now tis still the day
   Until the light doth fade away
Clouds are dressed in orange and red
   The moon rests on a cloudy bed
It dream of autumn days to come
   With barren trees and setting sun
Thanks to all things for this time
   It's a small piece of the divine

The colors flowing to mine eye
   At least as long as breath supplies
The sweet cool air I always need
   Rush my lungs with all God speed
Chilled and fresh just how I like
   Thanks to all things for this night

The moon is full and lusters pure
   The sun casts forth its light no more
Night has come and stillness reigns
    This is now the moon's domain
It stirs up waters in the soul
   Turbulent waves push and pull
But the night itself is pure and sweet
   A night when magic creatures meet
The meet and match and then are merry
   To the night my being doth tarry

Adventures waiting to be had
   The silver light is lightly clad
Across all things below the sky
   The animals howl forth their reply
AWWWOOOOOOOOO cries the night
    Chirp chirp creeks the woods

The moon sits patiently in a throne of clouds.  Silver light contrasting with the sun's closing colors. 
It rises fast, steep and steady to apex.  Passing over all and pulling the water we all share.  The sun rules the light, the moon rules the dark.

    I love poetry.

    It can be whimsical or epic, unbearably long or just two memorable lines, mature and dark or light and childish.
