A Sliver of Hope

I am participating in the March Slice of Life Story Challenge. Thanks to the co-authors of              Two Writing Teachers for creating this  supportive community.

Did you notice the sky last night? We came out of the restaurant to a gorgeous almost-over sunset. As we started back to the hotel I looked up and noticed the sliver of moon with Venus in alignment.

“Stop! I need to grab a picture!” I yelled. Of course my picture does not do it justice, but the sight was mesmerizing. I watched it the whole way back.

There is something very special about the moon, and I have always been fascinated by it. If I were a better poet I may have been able to capture the loveliness I experienced last night a little better. But there was something about that sliver of moon with the planet beside it that filled me with hope and peace and compelled me to write.
