Morning with the moon

~

 

I saw the moon beyond the mist,

its glow this darkened sky, it kissed

Through branches of an old oak tree,

a crescent moon waits there for me

 

So, as I gaze upon these skies,

awaiting on the sun to rise

I’ll stand here as it’s coming soon

and spend this morning with the moon

 

But wait, what’s this that I can see,

another light has come to be

For now it seems my morning view,

has Jupiter included too

Author's Note

I have watched the crescent moon each morning for the past few days but this morning was different. I saw what I assumed was a planet very close to the outer edge of the crescent. It was a mesmerizing sight. When I got to my office I googled it and found what I saw next to the moon was Jupiter. How cool is that?

"In celestial dance, moon and stars unite,
A celestial soirée, lighting up the night."

That's too good tough! :)

This was cool. To see Jupiter and the moon together. Hello Will. In my Army days. I was at Death Valley, five times. No cities for 40 miles. The stars, the sky. So beautiful. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

It was an amazing sight to see for me. The early morning, pre-sunrise sky is always my favorite and this morning it was magical. Thank you so much.

You are welcome Will.

And I even changed my avatar in deference to your words.
I took that pic from my then back garden, with branches from a tree framing the moon, as it wandered through some clouds and tried breaking free.
Have seen jupiter on occasion too, but had to be told what it was by a kid, who I thought was taking the pee. I didn't know the kid, I just realised I asked what the bright star by the moon was last night and they answered like they do.
I'm glad I used Google too, because slapping them and telling them to shut up was my first choice 😊
That kid will be in their twenties now and probably still hating me. 😊
Good to know so many people get up at silly o'clock in the morning to watch the day begin. And here was me thinking I was the only person awake at that time.

I wake up and get out early so I can tell the roosters it's time to wake everyone else up.
Ah, I'm sure he only hated you until he was nineteen...at twenty they have so many other things to hate. : )
Yep, I saw it this morning, I always manage to see Venus but seeing Jupiter is a special sight for me.

Beautiful homage to a heavenly sight. I think you were blessed to witness this. I'm sorry that I missed it. As always, your pen writes with gold.
