On queue

On winter's Arctic stage, the moon gets the lead role.  The sun makes only brief appearances, sporting the most brilliant of wardrobes.  Perhaps the moon's attire is less colorful but it accessorizes with a few strategically placed jewels to sparkle and glint and grab some attention.

Not yet wanting to take center stage early this morning the moon hovered along the mountaintops.  It was barely luminous, veiled in a cloud the color of smokey amber.   Jupiter, however, was raring to go and hung above taunting Luna to come out and play.   In little over ten minutes, the horizon was smudged with shades of persimmon melting up into the cerulean blue atmosphere as night was soon to be pushed away by day.  The Sun was awake, about to make its grand entrance.  As if on queue,  Luna sprung to life and less than ten minutes later the above scene took place.  Making her own way across the sky, the moon appeared as a brightly glowing pendant hanging by an invisible thread from a sparkling jewel in the sky.  A red carpet just won't do when you're as beautiful as the moon and stars alighting upon the rich blue of a passing night.
