A dramatic nocturnal landscape depicting a mountainous canyon beneath a glowing full moon. The moon breaks through dark, swirling clouds, casting a golden-orange light across the sky. A natural stone arch spans part of the canyon on the left, while twisted, gnarled trees cling to rocky cliffs on the right. A luminous waterfall cascades down the rocky face, creating a mystical glow in the darkness. Stone steps wind their way up the cliff face, leading to what appears to be a small figure standing in contemplation of the scene. The composition creates a sense of scale and mystery, with deep shadows contrasting against the ethereal moonlight, embodying the "lunar lyricism" suggested by the title.
