Sweetgum trees
silhouette majestic sunset
Enchantment with artistic wonders
highlighted by the crescent
on nights like these
Across edge of twilight
where soft lavender hues
tell the tale of
the golden arc
~
The night is clear and cool
sliver of crescent moon
hangs bright in the sky
radiating a warm glow
reflecting beauty
illuminating this autumn night

I know this is about the Autumn night but it reminded me of the moon the other night – just a slither in the universe on a very cold Spring night.
