your glow brushes across earth
like fingers on braille

You are too kind. I'm not really satisfied with this - I love imagining moon beams gently brushing along the Earth, somehow reading and discovering its face, much like soft fingers reading and discovering what lies within braille.

Aah, well.

Thank you!
