Hello Mr Moon you sure are looking quite plump and full this morning
Dazzling in your brilliant yellow glow filling me with joy on this clear crisp day before sunrise
Peering through the gums to get a better view
The night takes on a silvery hue
Turning the trees into stick men their silhouettes eerie
The autumn night air is cool but I stay to watch you clear the canopy
Rising high your luminous white glow shining down unperturbed by the folly of men below
Now I watch you just above the horizon at 6am but in the east this time before I leave for work
I stand before you in the stillness transfixed by your beauty lost in the moment
A magnificent gem of creation a stalwart of unchangeable calm and purity
You instill these qualities in me even if only for a moment
Driving to work meandering down the mountain I peer out the window trying to get a giddy glimpse of you
Trying desperately to recapture the moment
See you tonight my friend
