    The Last Companion

On this September evening
the moonlight is the water
and the water is the sky
in this scene quite unlike
any other that has ever been;
This is a night of shimmering
stars in a memory mirage
where nothing lingers long
beyond the dream of all that
is conceivably beautiful and
    unrealized.
Where is the one with whom
I would wish to share the moon
for an infinity of tomorrows?
She has chosen far divergent
paths from which there is
    no return
leaving loneliness here,
the last companion.

                --- b. e. adams (9/27/2015)

While reading this delicately written work, the connection of emotions with environment (nature if you will), is most profound.

The depths of loneliness are well-defined as your "last companion". I am sorry for your loss friend. You write of it well.

88's to you.

She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast".
