In the Cold Moonlight
The lighthouse stands alone, a solemn figure in the midst of an indifferent, boundless night. Its light, pale and unwavering, cuts through the thick silence, yet it does not triumph over the darkness—it merely exists within it, as if resigned to its eternal fate. The satellite drifts across the sky, a fleeting symbol of mankind’s futile desire to conquer the vast, unknowable heavens, yet even it fades into the overwhelming void. Above, the moonlight casts a cold, distant glow, indifferent to the earth below, as though the heavens watch from afar but offer no solace to those lost within.
In this lonely landscape, the lighthouse’s beam does not seek victory, but survival—steadfast in its purpose, quietly battling the endless night. It is a reminder of the soul’s solitary journey, seeking light in the darkness, knowing full well the darkness will always remain. Yet, the lighthouse endures, not out of hope, but out of duty—a beacon for those adrift, lost in the vastness of existence. It stands as a testament to human frailty and resilience, a faint light in the immensity of the universe, where only shadows and silence reign, and man’s struggle for meaning remains forever unanswered.
