“To make such an attempt as to hold the rays of the sun in one's palm,Such would be the pair to wisps of moon beams caught on the rising tide of starlight”

“Just like moons and suns,With certainty of tides,Just like hopes springing high,Still I'll rise.”

“The world in which we live is no more real than a moon beam reflected in water drawn from the palm of the hand...”

“The sun rise, The moon sets, The wind blows, The birds cry, I finally saw, The world, As it's own, While the sun sets, and the moon rise,”

“Even in the slippery blur of heat and arms and noise, Lena affected everything in her wake, a pull as powerful as the moon to the tides, or the planets to the sun. I was caught in her orbit, even as she pulled away from mine.”

“The night is full of mystery. Even when the moon is brightest, secrets hide everywhere. Then the sun rises and its rays cast so many shadows that the day creates more illusion than all the veiled truth of the night.”
