Three Friends

Little stars on silver pond
Dance on glass and float along
Milky moon in lustrous phase
Strips of pearl on rippled glaze

Crystal tears on cheeks of rose
Crimson heartaches gently pose
Willow‘s swaying, bending limb
Hums a lover’s saddest hymn

Swishing lilts of teardrop leaves
Lifted by the evening breeze
Rustling whispers meant to calm
Lonely heart with solemn song

Here I sit by silent lake
Pondering my grave mistake
Stars and moon and willow tree
Such is sorrow’s company

myohmy is this a bittersweet beauty...
such a lovely melding of imagey and expression....
and as always...your cadence is poetry in motion.
Beautiful writing dear potess of grace.

this so aptly attributes those deep moments, when humans seem to enjoy an alone bittersweet moment, and in that we learn to comfort the atrocities of life...we learn to accept the essense of it all...and we know, we've done nothing wrong...we just grew along the way, with our children...with our friends, with the hum of nature...

Hugs to you, my poetess lady, you are incredible!

Stars and moon and willow tree
Such is sorrow’s company

Truer words were never spoken!

    

I saw a willow tree drop a tear
Watched it float to the grass near.
I picked it up and felt its grace
Hoping I could see her face.

Time erases many things too soon,
Except sorrow, Willow, stars, and moon.
