https://Voice.club - The moon is ambitious. She realizes this one evening as she glances across the sky at her sister, Sun. She doesn’t wish to shine like Sun; she is content with her muted silver even when, once every month or so, it is just a sliver of silver.
No, Moon desires to be a musician. Songs float through the air around her, tempting her with trills, harmonies, suspended chords resolving. These touch her to her dense, metallic core.
From the time she was a mere crescent, Moon has thrilled to the music coming to her from Earth below. Her absolute favorite song, of course, is “Moonlight Sonata”. How Beethoven captures her essence, her true spirit! The haunting strains of Debussy’s Clair de Lune are as mesmerizing now as the first time she heard it. Reggae never fails to instill joy, while jazz encompasses all the emotions seen in humans. Yes, music is close to her heart.
She sets out to become a musician.
Moon gives herself six months to attempt to achieve her ambition. Moon has collected words which to her ear are perfect for her music. “Lilting”! “Enthralling”! “Mellifluous”! These are the words which will establish her as a legendary musician.
She encircles the world listening, observing, learning from the music she hears.
Just south of Papua New Guinea in the Torres Strait Islands she sees and hears a group of men dancing to a moon dance called Gedge Togia.
An opera company in Slovakia is performing Dvorak’s “Song to the Moon” from The Royal Opera.
Natives from both South and North America are heard performing moon chants.
For decades Moon has been aware of Yogic Moon Salutations but now, it seems, all the world is honoring her in music and song. Little children go to sleep to “I See the Moon” while lovers everywhere crave for moments just to gaze at her.
Become a musician? There is no need when her fame is fully established.
Moon crosses the sky, content now with her place in the heavens. She hears wafting up from below:
“Carolina Moon, keep shining
Shining on the one who waits for me.”
