Beneath The Moon

by Kim   Jun 25, 2006


I walked beneath the autumn moon
Through the rays of silver light
Where shadows smiled softly
And dreams on wings took flight

I stepped beneath the fading rays
Of sunset reflecting from the trees
Hope was captured in the sight
Of wistful faded leaves

I stopped beneath the dying stars
Who still sang lovingly from the sky
And as I stopped I glanced around
Wishing I could cry

But I lost that ability long ago
Through cold and frozen pain
What I would give just to hear
Your ringing laugh again

For in those moments from the past
We shared more than most will know
It wasn't just our hearts we found
We also gave our souls

Even the beauty of this world
Has nothing that could compare
To the sweetness of your love
The joy when you are here

So now I trod, alone, this night
And wonder what is to be
For I would challenge any god
To bring you back to me

The stars and moon begin to dance
Singing of life that I once knew
But my heart will ever wander
Until I'm returned to you

An older poem but one I wanted to share nonetheless :)

    Beautiful as usual, Kim! This is so sad....so heartfelt...so wonderfully magnificent.

    I think my favorite part was:
    "For I would challenge any god
    To bring you back to me"

    I know what it means to love someone so deeply. And I can tell that you understand it aswell.

    I;m going to be honest... I think there are a couple of "fill" words that can be removed, such as "the". If you can find a few of these, the flow will be even more exquisite than it already is. Besides that, I found I could relate well to this poem (Like I'm sure many will). Your rhyming is great and the length of the poem was just right. A very good piece!!

    I know the bittersweet feelings in this poem all too well. Sad but with a small shimmer of hope that you'll be together again soon. I love it.
