Moon Highway

Between sunset and dusk's dawning,

an orange orb rises, casting a moon

highway of dancing light upon the

water. Night's shadows blanket the

bridge and city. The light path glows

like spilled champagne lulling

travelers along the shimmering,

languid trail. Mysterious meandering,

a twilight snaked, searing along the

electrifying curve of a rising moon,

the bridge between night and day.
