she squinted her eyes
and looked up at the moon.
"there's no man up there."

"of course there is!" her friend said with glee. "he's always looking out for you and me."

"I cannot see it,"

"because you don't believe it," her friend replied.

the girl kept looking at the sky,
and decided her friend was right.
she could try to believe,
she would give it a try.

so she looked up, but nothing was there.
until she realized there was no literal man.
it was the moon itself.
the moon that shined at night.
who didn't let the darkness overcome.

the moon was the moon man.

the girl and the moon.☽Where stories live. Discover now
