Moon

Lost star, dark night

Neither the night nor the star were

Lonely or dark any longer

The eyes whispered

Untold stories

Unsaid feelings

Unexpressed emotions

Unspoken words

The lost mind

The longing heart

The trembling lips

The silent voice

A desire to meet

A wish to see

An urge to say

A need to listen

Eyes met

Eyes saw

Eyes spoke

Eyes heard

Lost words

Sheer silence

Missed chance

Wasted opportunity

The farewell

The fading figure

The melting moment

The aching heart

Still a tiny hope

The eyes whispered

The eyes were heard  

Through a mist of tears

So alone and so faraway

A warm and breezy night

Thousands of miles away

Several decades ago

I lay on my bed and looked at the sky

I could see the full moon

So big and beautiful

So near, I could nearly touch it

Surrounded by countless stars

The star laden sky bent down

Moonlight gently kissed my forehead

I smiled at the moon

It smiled back with delight

My eyelids heavy with sleep

I slept peacefully in the soft moonlight

With the moon watching over me

From the warmth of my bedroom

I looked through the double glazed window

I could see the full moon

Tangled in leafless branches of a solitary tree

The moon was so desolate 

So far away

Lonely in a starless sky

So alone and so faraway
