Full Moon Rising…

Rising up from the ocean so dark,

Its orange hue does fill my eyes,

Man in the moon smiling,

Saying hello down there you…

Cannot keep my eyes off its size,

Seems so big & close I can reach & touch,

As it rises up and up away from my reach,

I log its beauty into my brains hutch,

To save for the future,

A sight so majestic from this, my beach…

I try not to cry, for its beauty is that much & such,

I, instead write it down, and carry it home,

To place into a poem and give to you all the beauty I see,

It is far up in the sky by now, still looking down on the sea,

That man up there in the moon so round, also is looking at me…
