Full Moon

The moon was full
  a bright yellow orange chandelier
  lighting the walkways through the garden.
It rose slow along the eastern horizon
  hours after the sun had set
  as it shadowed the brilliant light.
Midnight found it on the cusp
  as if noonday had reemerged
  and all the world stood quiet in awe.
For a moment
  brief as it was
  not a sound protruded.
Quick as it rose higher
  cloud cover moved in
  and it was gone.

Beautiful! I saw the bright orange full moon the other night, that they called the 'sturgeon' moon. Thanks for sharing :)
