Notes About The Poem

Crying In the Moonlight

My breath was but a soft whisper,
not enough to ruffle the leaves of a willow
but he heard me crying in the moonlight.
With tender kisses he soothed my fears,
held me close within the circle of his arms,
until I no longer had reasons for my tears.

It would be if I were in her place. I’m reminded of the song, ‘Try a Little Tenderness.’ Thank you for commenting.
