Sidi J. Mahtrow - Moon Arising

In the early morn
A sighting of the moon is born
Caught in the radiance of the sun
A near eclipse on the wane.

Tomorrow on the distant horizon
Away from the sun's blazing
The moon will reappear
As Winter's cold grows near.

But on this day, like no other can
Shed light on the Myakka plain
As earth in its shadow
Is caught in th' orange glow.

The crescent is a promise
That life will not be amiss
To rise like moon and sun,
A new day has begun! .

On sighting the crescent moon on October 4,2010 as it bathed the earth in an orange glow, not unlike that produced by sun as it followed at 6: 00 Eastern time..
