Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Tonight the Moon

source
Tonight the moon
lays against the sky
Perfect white crescent
on  black canvas

Tonight the stars
shimmer in place
Janurary snowflakes
on jet black hair

Tonight the barred owl
questions the stillness
Waits for a reply
as do I.
