Stars and the moon.

Dancing together, often cradled in the arms of clouds.

The stars wink at you.

The moon is a steady heartbeat.

Never disappearing.

The stars often leave for a night.

But they do come back.

It’s just not clear when.

But the moon is the stable friend you have come to rely on.

It is there every night.

Sometimes you just need to look.

The night is often seen as a dark cloak obscuring everything.

Often seen as a sign of ending days.

When really it should be thought of as the start.

The night is your friend.

It just seems like an enemy at the beginning.

Look for the brightness.

Despite the darkness.

Look for the moon and the stars,

Within the inky gloom.
