(No Redaction – No time since I woke from my accidental slumber a few minutes before the next prompt was due, lol!)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A red ball of fire lies low, aglow,<\/p>\n

Upon an amber bank of clouds so high,<\/p>\n

Hesitant to descend where shadows flow,<\/p>\n

For countless times it’s graced the endless sky.<\/p>\n

Then, in a graceful curtsey, it takes flight,<\/p>\n

And coolness shrouds the earth, the day’s retreat,<\/p>\n

Venus appears, a gleaming jewel of night,<\/p>\n

With shy winks in the midnight’s dark, complete.<\/p>\n

The moon’s bright disk now joins the nightly stage,<\/p>\n

Bathing all in a silvery-blue embrace,<\/p>\n

I wish to follow on this timeless page,<\/p>\n

And join the moon in her celestial race.<\/p>\n

Yet I remain, an earthbound, dreaming heart,<\/p>\n

Yearning for the moon’s nightly, wondrous chart.<\/p>\n
