From east appears new light
Cresting on the horizon
Bright glowing crescent moon
New not old and wizen

Laying on it side slightly askew
Casting light discernible
Making a mark in the sky anew
With line now observable

Rising above landscape so dark
Reaching higher elevation
Lighting path for journey long
Starting on its migration

Casting shadows upon the ground
From trees and bushes
Climbing high above me overhead
Orbit locked it pushes

The ground below sparkles bright
Glistening diamonds grow
Bouncing around a surface white
Flickering upon new snow

Standing mind almost mesmerized
Taking in natures grandeur
Capturing photographs in my head
Stolen impressions a voyeur
