In the early morn <br />A sighting of the moon is born <br />Caught in the radiance of the sun <br />A near eclipse on the wane. <br /> <br />Tomorrow on the distant horizon <br />Away from the sun's blazing <br />The moon will reappear <br />As Winter's cold grows near. <br /> <br />But on this day, like no other can <br />Shed light on the Myakka plain <br />As earth in its shadow <br />Is caught in th' orange glow. <br /> <br />The crescent is a promise <br />That life will not be amiss <br />To rise like moon and sun, <br />A new day has begun! . <br /> <br />On sighting the crescent moon on October 4,2010 as it bathed the earth in an orange glow, not unlike that produced by sun as it followed at 6: 00 Eastern time.. <br /> <br />s<br /><br />Sidi J.
