Tonight
I thought of you
while a cloud slipped across the moon
in silence,
the savagery of silence,
like a shroud it wrapped
the Moon Of Winds,
the Famine Moon,
the Moon Of Death,
the full moon as it rose
above the trees in majesty
without a single nod to me
as if I will forever be
left to wander,
far from home.

icebox

To me, it was so very beautiful....with the clouds speeding through it and a golden circle around it.  I hope you have a good night!

Reflections In The Evening’s Chill

Tonight
I thought of you
while a cloud slipped across the moon
in silence,
the savagery of silence,
like a shroud it wrapped
the Moon Of Winds,
the Famine Moon,
the Moon Of Death,
the full moon as it rose
above the trees in majesty
without a single nod to me
to show it knows I will forever be
left to wander,
far from home.

Home...

I don't believe I have one now. Time to make the skin I'm in my hearth.

I do love the way you write, for so much
comes from your writings, so many feelings
and moods.

You use some of the most amazing lines

I can understand this...the moon has its effect on me, sometimes too much

Exquisite, icebox.  And although it was so, in its original version too, that one edited line made a very big difference and brought the reader so much closer into the ambiance of the scene.  I love reading icebox poems.

One of my favorite songs of all time is one recorded by Judy Collins, "The Moon's a Sad Mistress."  I heard it in the background of this one.  Mr. C, even your sad/lonely poetry is beautiful....jo
