In the silence, the moon speaks  

The moon is mischievous. 

The moon likes to play hide-and-seek during the day, 

constantly sneaking out of your sight, 

but sometimes… 

you might just catch the moon lingering in the sky 

and grinning down at you 

in broad daylight. 

The moon is benevolent. 

The moon warms the night, 

constantly looking over you, 

but sometimes… 

when a little bit reticent, 

you might not see the moon  

hiding behind the thick clouds 

in plain darkness. 

The moon understands… 

when the city falls into a deep somber, 

when the noise inside becomes louder than the outside, 

when what you are searching for becomes a question mark. 

The moon listens… 

to your worries, your dreams, your stories. 

All the traces you intentionally leave behind, 

hoping to be seen, 

hoping to be heard, 

hoping for a friend  

to say, “I understand.” 

You are never alone 

with the moon by your side. 

So please, 

don’t forget to look up at the sky… 

because even for the times 

when you can’t see the moon, 

the moon can see you. 

You are seen. 

You are heard.  

The moon is a friend, 

and the moon understands.
