The Moon Whispers

Almost fully formed, a singing light filling the sky. The temptation to climb up a ladder, over the chimneys and walk through the clouds. Like a moth, drawn towards the light.

.

On nights such as this, we all stop to gaze at the moon.

But the moon returns our gaze. Whispers softly to us:

.

In the dark, I see

a small blue planet.

Care for her well.*
