A Sliver of Silver

Gently falling from
The midnight sky

A sliver of silver
Dropped into
My palm,

It began to slowly melt
Into a little silver pool

Caressing
Each fold,
Each crease,

Quiescent in quietude,
Coalescing
With the warmth
Of my hand;

There it rested.

A smile
Lit up my face
In gratitude
For this small
Gift of the Moon.
