In the moonlight

When I gazed at the stars

seeking answers in their radiance

moonlight poured out

over your face

your sad eyes

your trembling lips

Compassion springs from the water

rustles in the thorny rose bushes

moon-silvered tonight

it lightens up the worry

about your glittering tears

your flushed cheeks

but you are gone

in the sudden lunar eclipse

when darkness strikes

So long since I've been here I forgot my password....but this poem drew me in.

A beautiful piece of writing - thank you.
