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

Jeff Connelly Date: 12/12/2019 5:12:00 PM 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.
