autumn storms
even the moon
sways like a lantern

Autumn sets things in motion. You feel it the moment you step outside in the morning… Autumn is here. The air is crisp, almost damp, carrying the scent of wet earth and falling leaves.
Have you ever wondered why the moon has fascinated us humans for millennia? Why we feel an odd emptiness on moonless nights and long for its silvery glow?
Here, I want to show you why the moon is full of poetry and how you can enjoy it in a special way, even using it to spark your own creativity. The world of the moon holds treasures for you, treasures that are silvery, comforting, and full of longing.
a long gaze upward
infinity is here
the moon and me
I wrote the poem on January 27, 2024. It was visualized by DALL-E via Microsoft Designer (Bing).
What mattered more to me was the sense of being lost in the vastness, and that the moon offers comfort. The relationship with it is crucial. The moon gives me strength and a sense of security in the face of the apparent terror of infinity. He is a real friend.

Full Moonlight

give itself away

The full moon indeed casts a significant amount of light onto the Earth. Imagine standing in a moonlit night, seeing everything bathed in a soft, silvery glow. But how bright is it, really?
only some moonlight
nothing else—
in the night

The poem creates a quiet, contemplative atmosphere through its simplicity and precise choice of words. It conveys a sense of silence and loneliness, as “only some moonlight” suggests that moonlight is the only visible element in the darkness. This evokes a feeling of emptiness and isolation, as if the night remains infinite and untouched.
The minimalism and clarity of the text emphasize a reduction to the essentials, highlighting the vastness and stillness of the night. The short sentence and the use of the dash after “nothing else” enhance the sense of timelessness, leaving room for deep reflection.
Moonlight, often symbolic of something unattainable or fleeting, evokes a sense of melancholy and introspection. It seems as though the speaker finds comfort in the solitude of the night, accepting its emptiness and losing themselves in its quiet, timeless beauty.
The emptiness of night, ah, what a curious feeling that is! You know, when darkness falls and the world seems to hold its breath, there’s this sense of vastness that creeps in. It’s like the night peels away the daytime clutter, leaving behind a canvas of possibilities.
