Staring up into this night's sky,
among the scattered stars,
my tired eyes rest on the crescent moon.
That slim curve of light offers
a place to pin my hopes,
a reminder that even the
most narrow slice of light
can defeat all darkness.

I was happy to wake up this morning to
this sparse slice of wisdom from a poet i admire. I could see myself looking through Joan's tired eyes and seeing hope in a crescent moon. It's amazing how these few words could say so much: "even the
most narrow slice of light
can defeat all darkness.
