Dear Moon


Open doth my soul and thine own breath bequeath 
for here in this realm of mine, none else exists 
gage me in dear moon, for I hunger here beneath 
the ribboning rays of blue, come be my Deist    

Open doth my mind and thine own thoughts ingrace 
for over there the world is whole again
no wars, no diseases, no hatred of men on each face 
sewing stars on God's breast, let us whisper Amen ! 

Open doth my heart and through thine own hold true 
like the northward river of cane that flows through me 
keep me aligned to your light and I will never be blue 
as long as I have you close, I will always be free 

Open doth my soul and thine own breath bequeath 
gage me in dear moon, for I hunger here beneath

Oh my, dear Rose, this is such a beautiful poem, where you've described the longing for peace and solace in a truly heart-touching way.. Although, your words reflect a wishful yearning to live in a place which is free from suffering, but I can feel an emotive depth here, as if, the soul is tired of being resilient amidst darkness and now is wholeheartedly trying to chase those flickers of hope that tend to escape from our view.. I like the archaic touch that you've given here, a beautiful sonnet

The moon captures many a soul, and when we are looking for comfort, no greater place to hand our hearts then our infamous moon ..
