Notes:

Shadows all around you as you surface from the dark
Emerging from the gentle grip of night's unfolding arms
Darkness, darkness everywhere, do you feel all alone?
The subtle grace of gravity, the heavy weight of stone

You don't see what you possess, a beauty calm and clear
It floods the sky and blurs the darkness like a chandelier
All the light that you possess is skewed by lakes and seas
The shattered surface, so imperfect, is all that you believe
I will bring a mirror, so silver, so exact
So precise and so pristine, a perfect pane of glass
I will set the mirror up to face the blackened sky
You will see your beauty every moment that you rise
-- The Hush Sound, "You Are the Moon"

My first submission to AOO! I haven't sat down and tried to paint like this in a while. It's photoshop and looks like photoshop, so I'm never going to be happy with it, but ah well. It's a thing. Wings. Yay.
