|| PHOTOGRAPH OF THE WEEK 🌝||
Beautiful, yet distant.
How strange it is,
Distance may seem as a normal human act, yet when its visible humans detest it— we come from different parts of the world, some choose to loathe, while wiser ones choose to love.
A human may be distant, cold, and unreachable
and no measure of beauty can redeem them.
Yet the moon remains impossibly far,
and still, we gaze upon it with great fascination, loving every shape and form of it.
The sun decends,
The moon ascends.
Its beauty peaks
yet its significance never seems to fade.
Perhaps beauty is not enough
when it is outlying.
What a privilege it is
to be distant,
and still be loved.
What a privilege it is
to be the moon.
This writing tells the reality, while these photographs show the subject, taken with immense talent and passion.
