There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.

sand and feathers for my head

full moon—
shadows of pines
on the straw mats

The moon is a loyal companion. It never leaves. It's always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it's a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human. Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.

—Tahereh Mafi

~

The moon is a friend
for the lonesome to talk to.

—Carl Sandburg

~

Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which one never shows to anybody.

—Mark Twain

~

The moon does not fight. It attacks no one. It does not worry. It does not try to crush others. It keeps to its course, but by its very nature, it gently influences. What other body could pull an entire ocean from shore to shore? The moon is faithful to its nature and its power is never diminished.

—Ming-Dao Deng

~

The moon was but a chin of gold
A night or two ago,
And now she turns her perfect face
Upon the world below.

—Emily Dickinson

~

The moon stays bright
when it doesn't avoid the night.

—Rumi

~

Rain clouds gone,
and muddy paw prints
on the moon.

—Braided Creek

~

The moon looks upon
many night flowers;
the night flowers see
but one moon.
