Woke up yawning
Dreary damp morning
Cool with cloudy drizzle
No more summertime hot sizzle
Fall weather is officially here
Winter is looming I fear
A full moon was in the sky
Not visible to the eye
Hidden behind a cloud
Smiling ever so proud
I saw her rising last night
It was an amazing sight
She came up out of the sea
Maybe to just see me
Clouds rushed over to cover her completely
She vanished in silence very discretely
Leaving me drowning in sorrow
Maybe she will reappear for me tomorrow
The day started with cloudy skies
Hugging the horizon
Blocking the imminent sunrise
They were dark devious depressing clouds
Where did all the nice clouds go today
Did the black clouds eat them all up
Are they hiding somewhere else
Why are only black clouds visiting me today
Are these black clouds carrying a hidden message
Why is everything so gloomy all of a sudden
I took a photograph to preserve as evidence
To share with others and warn them of the apocalypse
The image was even darker than the sky
I decided to alter the exposure
With a few clicks it got brighter
A few more clicks and the dark clouds became bright
And then it struck me
These clouds are not really that dark at all
They just appear that way in low light conditions
Your imagination does all the rest
The sun just came up
He is adjusting the exposure settings of the sky
The dark clouds magically became lighter
Things are not always as they first seem
The full moon was low on the horizon
Moonbeams bouncing over the bay
A big dark cloud raced across the sky
The moon lit up the edge of the cloud
A valiant but futile protest
The cloud pushed on
Mischievously blocking all the moonbeams
The waters of the bay looked up
Urging the wind to shift that cloud
The wind responded with huge gusts
Soon the tail end of the cloud glowed silver
The cloud was simply blown away
A bold smile reappeared on the face of the moon
Moonbeams flooded the bay
We give thanks the wind said the waters
As the wind blew the cloud further away
The sky made a public declaration
Establishing a no fly zone around the moon
The wind settled down
The waters on the bay went flat calm
Moonbeams joyfully bounced off the water
The cloud looked back and sulked
He only wanted to see his shadow
The wind, the waters the sky and the moon all grinned
Nocturnal soulmates reunited
They chatted endlessly swapping stories
Recalling past adventures together
They drank moonshine all night
The wind provided the loud music
A dance floor was set up on the bay
They partied hard until dawn
The moon floats in a sea of clouds
Drifting through the balmy night sky
Moon beams and clouds collide
A mixologist’s astronomical nocturnal cocktail
Not shaken, not stirred, straight up
The moon patiently awaits for the clouds to disperse
Without shame she brazenly displays her naked glory
The clouds look on in awe
Earthbound cameras click and record full frontal moon images
lunar lunacy erupts on social media
Soft moon porn videos go viral
The moon is totally unfazed
She has no Facebook feed or Twitter account
Her mood is independent of virtual likes
She continues her slow seductive dance over the night sky
Upon reaching the horizon she quietly slips out of view before dawn
New stories flood the internet and moon Google searches fade away
After a busy night of dancing through a starry sky the moon now sleeps
She dreams of those who stare at her distant beauty
As those who dream of her wake up to a rising sun
