On moonlit hill I contemplate,
The whimsy of the lady, Fate

In her wind, I twist, I flail
I flutter like an unbound sail

On moonlit hill I sit with stars
I plead they tell me where you are.

They do not speak, they do not tell
They leave me to my mortal Hell

On moonlit hill I sit alone
Awaiting light to lead me home.

I miss your look, I miss your touch
I guess I loved you far too much

On moonlit hill is where I'll be
If one day you search for me


... and they sent him home happy ... one hundred percent.

Awaiting light to lead me home.

these two stanzas, in particular, caught my eye and stole my breath away

TLS...where have you been.  It is about time you came home, just in time, for Thanksgiving.  Welcome, welcome.

the moon casts its loving light .

Excellently written!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

I also "prefer lyrical & rhyming poetry", as you say in your critique box. So, I love your poem, even if it was sad. Thank you for sharing with us.
