I went out into the dark,
the night was soft and full of its usual wonders,
but tonight, I wanted the Moon.

I raised my hand,
thinking I could hold its silver light,
thinking I could keep it close.

But it slipped away, as all wild things do,
leaving only its quiet glow on my palm—
a reminder that some gifts
are not for taking.

Still, I stood in its light,
content to listen,
to feel the world turning,
and to understand
that some beauty is meant only
to guide us home.
