The New Moon sets shortly after the sun relinquishes its hold upon the sky.
–––
She is just one day old and her brief appearance suggests a timidity as she chases the security of our star beneath the far horizon.
This fine silver crescent graces the evening sky once more and the whole ecology welcomes her return.
This August moon will mark the full transition into Autumn with its mellow winds and golden hues.
Once more the cycle begins and hope is born anew in the presence of this silver totem. Photo: New Moon setting over the Atlantic. Courtesy of the author.
