Half-light of a waning moon,
with shadows helter skelter,
A gentle whisper of the wind,
upon my brow I felt her.

Reaching out to touch my being,
calling out to heavens flee,
To leave behind my earthly bonds,
to seek what I can’t see.

I gaze into the welkin sky,
in wonder of the night.
Knowing I a mortal man,
incapable of flight.

Whispered wind races through the night
as I am left behind,
Agaze upon night’s firmament,
Alas, I see but yet am blind.

Tim - Now that's creative and elegant poetry from the pen of a kindred scribbler. I liked it a lot. Namyh

Lump in the Throat,
A Sense of Wrong,
A Home-Sickness,
A Love-Sickness.
