Tonight, I Host the Moonlight

在疲惫尽头，
与倾泻入室的月光和解，
完成自我疗愈的仪式。

I draw no curtains tonight, let the city's silver in
This geometric light, on the floorboards, on my skin
It's not an intruder, no, it's a gentle, quiet guest
Painting all the worries of the day into something calm and blessed
The day's loud echoes soften to a faint, dissolving hum
And the great cold light above becomes a tenderness that's come
So tonight, I host the moonlight, I pull up a chair
We'll sit in the stillness
And we'll breathe the same air
I'll offer it my silence, it will offer me its peace
And the frantic city heartbeat, for a moment, finds release
Oh, tonight, I host the moonlight in this humble, rented room
And we watch the shadows dancing
On the edge of all the gloom
It traces the outline of the books I've yet to read
Highlights a dying flower and a single, fallen seed
It shows me how the dust motes in its beam begin to dance
A slow and weightless ballet, given just a fleeting chance
It doesn't ask for answers, doesn't need me to explain
Just this mutual witnessing to soothe the silent strain
So tonight, I host the moonlight, I pull up a chair
We'll sit in the stillness
And we'll breathe the same air
I'll offer it my silence, it will offer me its peace
And the frantic city heartbeat, for a moment, finds release
Oh, tonight, I host the moonlight in this humble, rented room
And we watch the shadows dancing
On the edge of all the gloom
Lay down your armor
I am not a blade
I am just a reflection
Of the calm you've made
The city sleeps within you
Let the traffic in your mind
Fade
So tonight, we are the moonlight, no more host and guest
We've melted in the stillness
Put the daily world to rest
I am my own deep silence, I am my own true peace
And the frantic city heartbeat, in this hollow, finds release
Yes, tonight, we are the moonlight in this humble, sacred room
Having turned the waiting shadows into a gentle, living loom
Goodnight
City
You can keep your noise
I've found my voice
In the quiet
Goodnight
