Silver Sliver of a Moon

There’s a small sliver of moon tonight It hangs in a thick, rich black velvet sky The moon glimmers a soft white The sky looks rich enough to touch In the distance is a glow of the city Another day closes with a new night beginning The air has cooled to the breath The lungs feel refreshed A slight healing breeze is blowing It soothes the heat beaten brow Plants welcome their daily drink People move on the street enjoying the cool reprieve and coming night Every now and then someone looks up and smiles at the moon It’s magic The moon looks down at the earth and smiles back
