Moon Chase

I woke early
to chase
full moon
on westward
journey.

The silver moon
grew grand and golden
before sinking
and settling
behind snowdusted
mountains.

Simultaneously, clouds
started shimmering softly
as they sun began his
climb above taller peaks
to the east.

I went to the moon
this morning.
The cost:
an extra hour
of sleep.

I would like to hear from you
