The Moon

Moonlight dripping through the inky darkness, a translucent watercolor of light against the black canvas night. It's opalescent glow drowns all but the strongest stars as their light flickers and fades only to break through again, as if their burning mass was struggling to tread water inside a vast ocean of pitch. The moon their only beacon even as it's light drowns their own radiance.

The crisp night air steals breath as the wind wisps it away, adding to it's collection of whispered wishes and unspoken dreams. Perhaps they'll reach the ears of hope hidden somewhere beyond the veil of the unknown.

The light, the dark, the wind, the chill, the hopes, the dreams, the ever being, from birth to death, from first to last breath, and everywhere in between, the moon.... she see's it all and reflects it back to those who take the time to stop and truly see.
