Absence

darkness 
hides 
clouded skies
from my eyes
but an absent moon
is noticeable
with the same depth
of the emptiness
i feel inside
without you here

An evening sky without a moon is at times a lonely sight to see but if the stars reflect in a lover's eyes, then the moon is hiding for a reason. :) Beautifully done Sandy.

The moon, to me, is like an anchor. The loss palpable without it as is your poem.

Fantastic imagery dearest, Sandra! In a little while the moon would be seen and the sun will follow with his coming! Beautifully written!
