A Silver Glow

I softly rolled out from beneath my basket's edge and squeezed into the cool, quiet hallway. The night is so gentle and kind to me. Drawn by a faint shimmer, I hopped onto the low footstool and nudged myself up to the wide wooden windowsill. A lovely streak of cool moonlight poured through the parted curtain, catching the sparkling specks inside me. Snuggling right into that silvery beam, I felt like a little jewel taking a quiet breath in the peaceful dark.
