The stars were easy. The moon was somewhat larger than anticipated. Mental Professor considered this irrelevant. I Bring You Stars And The Moon follows a traveler crossing impossible distances to deliver an impossible gift. Not because it is practical. Not because it is requested. Simply because some things deserve to be shared. The stars fit through the mailbox hatch. The moon had to be left outside the door.

The ridge was a ribbon of fire and frost,
a narrow road through a sleeping world.
The city shimmered far below,
a constellation
made by
human hands.
Above me the broken crescent hung,
a wounded moon learning how to shine.
I whispered your name into the wind,
and the wind carried it forward
like a lantern.

Every step was a promise I made
long before I knew your face.
The sky opened like a question,
and I answered
with my breath,

I bring you stars and the moon,
all the light I could gather on the way.
I bring you silence and sky,
the kind that bends when someone
finally stays.
If the night is deep, I’ll carry it.
If the world is wide, I’ll cross it.
I bring you stars and the moon —
because you once brought me home.

The wind carved stories along my coat,
old myths of wanderers and their
impossible gifts.
The path trembled under my feet,
but the horizon held your shape.
Some journeys choose the traveler,
and some gifts burn the hands
that hold them.
Still I walked, still I gathered light,
still I kept your name warm in my mouth.

Even if the sky should fracture,
even if the city forgets its glow,
I’ll keep walking this trembling ridge
with the brightness I saved for you.

And if the stars fall through my fingers,
if the moon dims in my arms,
I’ll rebuild the night from memory
and carry it to
where you are.
No distance is too fragile,
no darkness too
wide to cross,

I bring you stars and the moon,
all the light I could gather on the way.
I bring you silence and sky,
The kind that bends when someone
finally stays.
If the night is deep, I’ll carry it.
If the world is wide, I’ll cross it.
I bring you stars and the moon —
and the path that
led me here.
