A Silent Howl

Of the lonely night 🌙

Night can be the night where the moon comes up and says hello to the stars to gather with the night. Sometimes, the stars is the only one who can stay awake with the night. And when the stars leaves, the moon stays with the night. This cycle has continuously remained for too long to observe.

But, there are times when the night stays awake by himself. When he does, no one on earth could sleep well. The owls which normally sing in the night would be silent. The sea would not allow waves to wave and be quiet as ever. Every single thing that lies on earth would allow the night to wander, to seek, to contemplate why he be alone. To human beings like us, when the night contemplates, it affects us through nightmares. All of our sorrows could be reignited in a flash by his benign touch. He does that so every living creature on earth could stay with him so no more loneliness for him.

To be at some point where we think about our desperate moments in only 1 night, which I believe every human beings have it, nothing we can do unless we face it.

Sharing can be done. But there are two question filling your mind with riddles. First, is that really matter to share it even with your closest one? Second, are you gonna bother your even closest one to listen to all of your miserable things?


Tonight is my silent howl. An action where I completely know nothing about sweeping a help or fleeing a boat in my darkest dream of life…
