First thought this morning upon awakening was my last image before falling asleep.

It had hung beyond the blinds of the window way up high in the night sky

In the gesture of a tilted smile,

The Cheshire cat moon.

Smiled back at me!

Calming my spirit

As I had slumbered off into dreamland.

With the reflection of the world’s heavenly night light among billions of twinkling stars

Hovering over me.
