The Hidden Moon

Moon Oh moon,
looking down upon us.
What is it that you see,
so sad and terrible,
You hide your face from me?

The ink flows free.

The Hidden Moon by

Confess to yourself in the deepest hour of the night whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write. Dig deep into your heart, where the answer spreads its roots in your being, and ask yourself solemnly, Must I write? – Rainer Maria Rilke

Well, must you? I know my answer….

    I would most likely forget I was forbidden to write, and write by accident; and die by accident.
    either that-or I would find another way to write that does not involve the actual act of writing…like painting the picture-words.

  • Ah Kristin…. I have to agree, I think I would probably do the exact same thing. :) Let’s just hope neither of us is in a situation where this happens.

    I…..I don’t think I have the words to describe this…………..

  • Sometimes, words aren’t needed. The fact that you have none speaks louder than words could.

    wow you are like the most awesomest writer, im pretty sure I just spent a whole hour casually reding through all of your pieces haha:) oh and I added you to my wathclist! once again, what a great piece and I love the quote you used on the side…

  • haha wow! well, I’m overjoyed you liked my writing enough to have gone through it all!
    I have to say, I quite like it too…
    Although this may surprise you, it’s the translation of the german tattoo Lady Gaga has on her arm. (it’s ok, you can lose respect for me on that one haha)
