<The Moon Has Never Been Alone>


Written by Younghee Kim



The expressionless crescent moon,

after kissing the one it loves, 

becomes a full moon, 

and then, alone again.


People look up at the night sky 

and say the moon waxes and wanes.


But the moon has never been alone. 

In the unseen darkness, 

the other half of the moon is always there, 

embracing with cheeks pressed together, 

guarding each other.


When the darkness fades, 

the crescent realizes

that it was always a full moon.
