I was watchin the sky monday night and "realized" (thanks google) the bright star next to the slight waxing crescent moon was Venus-

Fun fact, Venus is also referred to as the evening star or for a Lord of the Rings correlation- Evenstar. Anyways:

Evenstar

The slim moon keeps a careful flame,
a silver whisper not yet whole,

while Venus hangs beside her there
like a lantern for the soul.

Not touching, still they linger close,
two quiet fires in evening's seam,

one born of promise, still becoming,
one bright with beauty, old as dream.

And dusk says nothing, asks for nothing,
it simply holds them where they are:

the crescent carrying tomorrow,
Venus remembering every star.

Perhaps all longing looks like this...
not thunder, nor reckless flight,

just two lights leaning toward each other
across the deepening blue of night.
