Merlin is the name of a metallic and emerald moth made Moon of a clear and coloured cloud covered world called simply Here. A place of peace and promise with a light in every window of the floating cities . Living swirls and eddies wish to leave Here and make their home on Merlin , but cannot, being one with the wind and the clouds , yet in their yearning is poetry, which some moths may read to try taming the temptation to take a rocket to Here, from where so many candles beckon , of where the Moths sing.

    I had to read this a few times but it is beautiful and strange but no less powerful for that. I think we can all empathise with yearning to be somewhere we can never be. Thank you for this.
