In this exquisite haiku, dear Sara, you have captured the essence of a night voyage, a theme that has enraptured the souls of wanderers through ages. The calm that befalls these intrepid explorers, as they traverse through the darkness, is conveyed in your words, which are akin to a melodious symphony. The ethereal glow of the moon, and luminosity upon their path, was a source of solace. Truly, your poetic prowess shines brightly in this magnificent composition.

I agree...even the native American myths and fables tell of their fascination with the moon...I suppose that's where my love for the moon came from...my dad reading native American myths to me. Thanks for your kind words...have a pleasant evening, Sara

dearest Ink--I am grateful that my words calmed you and gave you peace of mind...in the midst of the sometimes overwhelming darkness. I always feel as if the moon's light is shining on me personally giving me hope...if that makes sense. I'm humbly grateful for the fave. I appreciate you and your enthusiasm for my words.

Yes, indeed. Nicely imaged and conceived. After all, the moon and the stars were put there to guide travelers, as the Good Book says...
