You And The Moon

She does not rise. She does not set. She rests and in her resting becomes the light you navigate by. You drift. The dark is deep yet soft. It holds you gently like a note held by breath. Allowing you to disappear for a while. The glow she gives is not enough to banish shadows. It is enough to show you they mean no harm. You exhale. You have loved the night for as long as you have known how to be alone without being lonely. She is the reason. She keeps the dark from being empty. You keep her from being alone. You linger. The glow is soft. The shadows long and gentle. The darkness here has no teeth, it's just the space between stars. She hums faintly. You rest. Everything resting in their corner. And you are small and still and exactly where you need to be. You stay. Although not knowing where you are, this nowhere that feels like home. You belong. Mizuyōkaii, 2026 Dimensions: 7608 x 5076
