Deer call
From their winter forest
Night is dark
However faintly lit with stars

Outside a silver moon
Rises over leafless branches
Rabbits scurry across the field

A single candle on the table
By the fire the room is warm

What is gone is gone forever
No reason left to stir the cold

As usual, your poem is beautiful.  However, just wanted to say that "raises" should be "rises".  Loved the title too.

Owl,

Thanks for the catch.  I missed it
reading what I wanted to see instead
of what was actually there, (sounds like
a theme for a poem; feel free to use it).

This and the two recent others
have been influenced by the Tang
Dynasty.  One, if having lived long
enough, can usually find something through
which to respond to a mood or emotion
however long expressed before.

Thanks all for reading.

John

How interesting!
you are very into oriental culture esp Chinese culture. Your poems are like some of the classic Chinese poems,  scene, emotion and a story. also like traditional chinese paintings...simple but full of spirit...yes, the spirit of the soul and  the subject.
I know that you like some of the Chinese classical poems because there are many wang wei's poems in your folder. It is very hard to translate Traditional Chinese poems into English. very hard.
It has been a very pleasure experience to read your poems. You are a very serious poet, a wonderful poet.
