The moon and sun are sharing a secret from the earth, is how I read this, very clever!

Heya Michelle, I’ve always believed the sun and moon are dynamically interlinked with the creation of life, and perhaps its extinction too, their positions and size ratio as seen from earths surface, is just way beyond coincidence imo anyway, yes they are hiding a abstract secret? Alas I haven’t figured it out completely yet, cheers David

Very interesting interpretation of the theme, David. Worth reflecting on. Nice.

Good to hear from you Milton, I gave one realistic interpretation to Lasaad below, but there are also many abstract ones to ponder or reflect upon, cheers David

David, it is incredible how many interpretations can be conveyed with the use of so few words. Your monoku is really insightful and clever; I hope you do well in the contest.

Thank you Lasaad, it’s a simple picture, yet on the face of it holds many meanings, just like the arcane name suggests, all of the three celestial bodies mentioned are unflinching, still only one of them is capable of changing its fateful future, cheers David
