I've been waiting for this moon this pale crescent sliced from the new moon - floating right where indigo fades to gold I thank You for this moment carved into my waning day I could have worked harder at just about everything - kindness, calmness, listening - should have stayed silent as this world already contains many words - should have listened instead to the small whispers that are the way that trees talk to one another - - tasted the breeze that carries flower scent - - noticed the way those feathered clouds arced their smooth way across the firmament. But here in the almost-quiet behind the house as darkness gathers increasing force the moon reminds me that there is - for now - yet another day.
