In The Moonlight.

Goldfinch60



I looked up into dawns lightening sky

And I saw that sliver of light

Showing me the waning moon,

Its life going into the darkness

At the end of its present life.

As I looked with sadness

The thought came to me,

That no matter how dark it became

The light of life will arise once more

And life will continue in joy,

As the moon will again shine upon us.

    A fine write Gold. It's started me singing (oh no!):
    'Thou burning sun with golden beam,
    Thou softer moon with softer gleam'.....

                You always find the bright side to watch, such a positive attitude to life. Well done.

                  Lovely metaphor, Goldie. Cycles of the moon and cycles of life, well portrayed!

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Thank you Louis, it just seemed to fit my thinking at the time.

                    Claude Debussy is one of my favourites in the classical genre and this a wonderful very popular piece. Your words are peacefully inspiring. Life goes on in its most successful forms regardless of anything be it flood or meteor strike. But my words here carry nothing of the romance of yours. One of your best that i have read. Definately heads for my favourites.

                    • Goldfinch60

                      Thank you da, I am honoured by your words.

                      Life is a cycle, made of cycles within cycles. Great poem Goldfinch!

                      • Goldfinch60

                        Thank you Fred. Yes you are so right cycles within cycles is the way we all tend to live our lives.
