Whenever I hike at midnight, the moon seems to swallow my entire vista. Even the tree-spattered mountains that eclipse the radiance can't hush its silent breathing, calling out in beamlike voices a world away. I want to climb the mountain and touch the looming spirit. But there will always be a closer mountain to the furthest infinity.
