The moon hung low in the sky this morning
Early, earlier than I wanted to be up.
The bed was warm, daylight savings time had me discombobulated,
But it was time to get up, so I did.
The light through the window confused me,
It was bright enough to be a spotlight.
It was the moon, at its fullest round,
Brilliant and white in the dark, dark blue sky.
By the time I let the dog out and came back
It was almost down to the trees
Turned golden in the atmosphere
As the sky began to lighten.
It was worth getting up for.
