Mounting the Hill

to the east a full moon mounting the hill it's size bigger than any ego i've ever seen to the west a departing sun not ready to surrender as she blushes in crimson splashes cement stacks lashing back lavender streams against the edges of duskiness me caught in the middle of a battle over the first clear skies this week stilled like the air as the first star appears above my wishes now adrift in the rift of darkness

I love the almost battle of duality Sandra. I saw the same thing this morning but it was the moon that was setting to let the sun rise. Your wording of a big ego is excellent. This morning's moon look huge.

Beautiful poetry at it's finest. I too witnessed the rising moon at the same time the sun was setting. It was magical and gorgeous and mesmerizing...just like your poem my friend. You paint the most wonderful scene when nature touches you heart and your pen.

Thank you Chris. It surely was a magical scene. It almost made me forget how cold it was outside :). Hugs

Exquisite scenery-- moon and sun both adorning your sky--enjoyed the light in your verses on the edges of dusk--awesome poetry, as always, Sandy.

Wishes are never adrift in darkness above every dark cloud is sunshine and blue skies, and at night they travel among cosmic light...
