1.25 Day-old Moon

On February 9, 2005, I took this photo shortly after sunset. It was a rare catch of the skinny crescent just a day past new moon. It was twenty years ago plus a day.

Phases of Moon and Man

The ancient moon drifts through the sky
Its phases changing all the while 
Waxing and waning from old to new
I only wish that I could too
