Obey the Moon Quotes

“Obey the Moon

She calls me -
not with words,
but with the roar of tides,
with the pulse in the soles of my feet
When I walk barefoot through dusk.

I am made of her.
Bone-glow, blood-pull,
a creature strung together by the phases,
threaded with silver
and ancient instinct.”

“I have knelt before cathedrals,
But none have summoned my reverence
the way your body does,
a sanctuary not carved in stone
but sinew, breath, and pulse.”

“By February, I am nothing but breath and bone,
a pilgrim of frostbitten mornings,
trudging through corridors of gray light,
where every shadow is a cold dread.”

“It was not death we feared,
but the vanishing of time,
the slow decay of days
that would turn our love to dust.
So we chose the night instead,
chose the dark, the endless hush,
chose to slip from the hands of time
before it could close around our throats.”

“I was never made for the tyranny of daylight,
for the fevered rush of voices and hands,
for the way the sun stretches shadows so thin
they vanish beneath its weight.

No - my world begins when theirs ends.

When the sky melts into obsidian ink,
when the hush unfurls like a velvet ribbon,
when the last flickering window darkens,
and I.. finally, fully breathe.”

“The evening unfurls slowly, a velvet hush,
spilling gold and violet into the arms of the horizon.
The trees, dark and silent, stand as if waiting,
their branches laced with the last breath of daylight.”
― Avalon Ash, Obey the Moon: 1995–2025, A Collected Work Vol. II

“Grief lingers -
a heavy chain rattling in the quiet,
a burden carried from hand to hand,
generation to generation,
as if pain were an inheritance
we do not know how to refuse.”

“Let them call it ruin,
the way I unravel, thread by thread,
a tapestry undone by wind and want,
by the fever of something too vast to name.”
― Avalon Ash, Obey the Moon: 1995–2025, A Collected Work Vol. II

“And still -
I return,
because foolish hearts do not seek safety.
They seek the sacred flame,
even if it burns them to ash.”

“It would have been so easy,
to slip into the quiet,
to follow the road
where no footsteps return,
to let the weight of the world
fall from my shoulders
like a gown I no longer needed to wear.

But then -
there was you.”
― Avalon Ash, Obey the Moon: 1995–2025, A Collected Work Vol. II

“You already know the way.
The path is written in the quiet,
in the spaces between the words,
in the moments that are felt,
not seen.”

“Sin?
Perhaps.
But if this is ruin, then let it take me wholly.
Let the world burn,
let the stars weep silver into the abyss,
let time itself fold in upon us.
Nothing else exists,
nothing else matters.”
