Sky wears waning moon…
a wedding band part-hidden,
all shine, no craters.
Faux platinum moon
rests against midnight velvet
in a box of hope.

Thank you, Jean 🙂 It was “work”… very hard work . I wanted to say something, but it took me at least an hour to discern how I was going to say it! Your comment has made me glad I persevered.

Gorgeous imagery Sarah – love the image of the wedding band, the ‘all shine, no craters’ and the ‘midnight velvet’ box.

I love the imagery. Growing up in the woods away from the city lights I know all about the velvety night sky and the shining Moon and constellations 🙂 xxxx

There are street lights around us, but they’re very dim LED ones, which means that if you’re walking along the pavement, you have to hope you don’t step in anything like fox’s poo, as you can’t see your feet! The plus side of this is that you can see the stars and planets very clearly, but best not to gaze up at them while on the move 🙂

You need a tree house for our astronomic observations, Sarah 🙂

That sounds like a wonderful idea. I might even catch sight of an owl or two while in my tree house!
