This Morning's Sky

This morning’s sky held such a treat – A waning crescent moon. I followed it while walking But it disappeared too soon. At first it hid behind some clouds But then, as daylight came, It disappeared from view, like when An art thief leaves the frame. When luck and circumstance combine To bring before my eyes A perfect crescent moon, it is The loveliest surprise.

Truly love this, Ilene. I too, was grabbed by the ‘art thief ‘ line. A mini masterpiece of rhyme and sublime. Terry
