"Oh, My Beautiful Luna"

How lonely your life must be sitting
up there in that window each night
Always there to shine down your loving
light upon my weary shoulders
Never wavering or faltering in your
presence just above the treetops
outside my window sill
Countless hours I have sat in wonder
and utter awe at the curves of your body
And traced my fingers downs the tracks
of scars that Father Time has put upon
your face
Out there all alone with only a few visitors
in all your many mellinia of existence
But you bring warmth and a sense of belonging
to this all too often lonely soul
Oh, my beautiful Luna, so far away
yet, so very close to my heart

I'm somewhere in between what is real and just a dream - Lifehouse

Jeffrey, this is beautiful, but so sad...such a wistful feel to it. I liked it a lot...

this is somewhat bitter-sweet ..it is quite beautiful, yet lonely. I like it alot though.
A good write.

Always, Alyssa

I adored this Jeff... one for my library for sure!

The soul would have no rainbows, had the eyes no tears.
