Notes About The Poem

cinereal

beneath a sullen moon
silence hovered
my mind meandered
the two soon
inextricably
entwined

Dear line, love the picture youv used here, and also the softness of your words and how they flow is just so very beautiful and soulful. I love “ silence hovered” “ my mind meandered” the subtle flow of alliterations there is stunning! There is a pinch of melancholy in this that resonates. Congratulations on your win in brians contest. Sending you light always

loneliness is an abyss…my friend at church cried…lost her husband a few years ago…said I feel so alone. Hugs of angels and the comfort of the Holy Spirit, prayed your way.

Line, I really like this poem. It pulled me right in . Great imagery. It has the feel of a haiku or other Japanese form, few words but leaves you pondering, and reminiscing.
