Apr 2014
Morning pushes through the night
Cold and dreary gray
Wind tickling the leaves
Ready to play.
Floating thick across the sun
Clouds impatient to be lighter
Snow begins its slow decent
Falling in pretty flutters.
From the north it comes
Darkening the skies
Blowing with full force
Its might enough to terrify.
Snowflakes grow to size
Whipping all around
As though the sky were falling
Spring a blizzard has found.
Alas earth was prepared
Warming for green
No hope for the snow
Just a pretty drama scene.
Tick Ticking slowly onward
Early afternoon creeps on
Forcing the clouds to waft away
Settling down to a chilly breeze.
Sunshine breaks through
A pleasant heat added to the cold
First truly long day of spring
Dragging slowly forward.
Reminding winter it must rest
Settled comfortably up high
The sun delays its decent
Waiting late into the night
Before sharing the colors of sunset.
Knowing the late hour
Moon hits its highest peak
Wasting no time
Spreading glowing moonbeams.
Stars splayed all about
Sparkling in a perfect clear sky
Rustling leaves in the wind
Lulling all with their sweet lullaby.
Yelling in defiance
Sun and earth align
Casting a shadow dark
On moons special time.
Sliver by sliver
They overpower its shine
Bringing true darkness
To a calm peaceful night.
As the moons cries out
Pleading for life
Only one will step up
Defend moons right to the night.
Mars arcs gracefully through the sky
Planning a fierce attack
Hesitating only once
At the sound of a childs cry.
Pausing to glance about
Seeing only moons reflection
A crystal clear lake whispers
See in me a beautiful solution.
Mars approaches moon
Coming from behind
Sharing his complextion
Their glows well combined.
Earth and sun soon realize
Little competition they put up
For moon and mars together
Dominate the black sky
Blood red and tempting
Eclipse no longer a threat
They lingered for awhile
Glowing crimson
As on no other night.
Stars twinkling bright,
Earth watching in wonder,
Sun slinking back to day,
Mars bidding farewell,
Moon spread his moonbeams
All was well.
