Empty

` I feel empty, drained of emotion, standing in this lonely field, a desolate silhouette of stoic expression dreaming of yesterdays while tomorrows wait somewhere beyond the silent horizon where questions lie I have no answers for When I see it rising slowly in the east as darkness finds me like a long lost friend and as it crests the tree line I realize… at least the moon is almost full

Very well said, Chris. a feeling of emptiness drain of emotion, a feeling of despair sometimes I feel. As I stand outside at night gazing into the moon and the opalescent look of the haze it gives the clouds. Eve

The words "empty" & "almost" say everything needed about this kind of sadness. Damn well done, Chris.

That bright moon kept me awake last night...no escaping it. Something about a full moon that just gets us down...cool poem.

Great Timing. There has been a very full moon the last few nights. Both Jan & Feb had a night with a halo around the moon. It mean something but I do not know what. Great Write..........

Well written poem Chris. I understand. I try to stay positive and there seems to be so much going on and to worry about. At least we have Nature and the Moon's beauty and caring friendships along the way. :)

"at least the moon is almost full" while you run on empty...Certainly not a bed of roses...
