“My oh my, how time flies by these days”, she thought walking slowly from the store with her recycled bags in each hand. She missed the sun set and the multicolours reflecting on the water and now it had dipped below the horizon rising on another part of the world. She looked up at the sky turning a darker blue as the waxing moon shone down on her filling her with joy. She set her bags on the sidewalk for a second and took out her phone aiming it at the sky. It was difficult to do justice to such splendour.

halo embraces,
looks down at her and smiles,
that crescent moon

Daily Moment March 12, 2016 – waning moon (haibun)

Six Sentence Story

Published by Tournesol

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com View all posts by Tournesol

Beautiful and I’m so glad she stopped to take the photo. The camera can never duplicate the joy and elation we see with our minds-eye – but we get close!
