Moon Child

The night sky glistened with the stars. Looking like the sad version of the sunset sky. But as I sat by the window, staring at the black sky with the white clouds moving in and blocking the view of some of the stars, I felt free. Something about the night just made me feel safe and at home. Like there's an empty gap in my heart that can only be filled with the glowing stars and the peaceful sound of the waves crashing against the shore. The black sky showing that even though its pitch dark and quiet, it still shows beauty and freedom.

But there was one thing about the night that always made me excited for the clock to strike 8. The moon. 

The gorgeous planet that orbits around this world, but somehow manages to follow me wherever I go at night. The planet that shows that you can reach past the sky. They say "The sky's the limit!" But the footprints on the moon show that your dreams can go further then the sky, the proof that the sky isn't the limit. 

The gorgeous planet that made my eyes sparkle with the reflection of the glowing moon in my pupils. Making people wonder why I wont answer them. They don't know that I'm in a trance, and when they ask why, they don't understand me when I say,

"Cause like me and the moon, we shine brightest when its dark." They would laugh and shake their heads.. little did they know.

Little did they know that the moon represents me in so many ways. Like the moon, I'm full of imperfection but I shine brightest in times of darkness. Little did they know that when I look up at the moon, I feel free. And safe. Like I'm never alone cause someone somewhere, is looking at the moon with me.

I guess you could say I'm a selenophile. A person who loves the moon. And that's 100% right. 

Cause unlike my friends, the moon knows all my secrets while the sun watches what I do. The moon comforts me in times of need. Making me feel like I can grow wings and fly towards it, the moonlight shining on my hair as the dust of the stars sprinkle into my hair. Making me feel like I can accomplish anything.

Why should I love the brightest time of the day, when my soul is in the sky?
