Shadows of Moonlight

[This is more a collection of random thoughts than a put together piece of writing. It is also probably one of my most pretentious efforts at writing, yet. But I didn't know how else to put my thoughts into words that make sense (hopefully they do! :P ) ]

Ever heard the leaves rustling at night when all else is silent? When the keening noise of of crickets fills your ears and the never ending expanse of the dark sky overwhelms your senses. When the moon peeps in through the floating clouds, illuminating the emerald expanse and throwing shadows on the lighted window. Two heads bend together, whispering animatedly. Sweet nothings. Uncertainty. A blooming happiness accompanied by traces of lingering doubts lurking in the corners. Superfluous words that leave more unsaid than said. A slight breeze wafts through stirring memories of dreams long forgotten, hopes long relinquished. Ruffled hair. Sleepy eyes, strangely alert yet decidedly content. Below the canopy of twinkling stars unfolds a new story, almost as ancient as the fate that nourishes it, yet cherished differently in each manifestation. As the earth continues its long, arduous journey and time pursues its destiny, words morph into nothingness and silence reigns supreme.
