Full Moon Crest

As I watch a creamed-full moon come to crest,
a darkened backdrop takes thoughts away;
into the night of heaven, where loved ones rest.

I stop for a moment to ease my aching breast,
releasing inward feelings I want to convey;
as I watch a creamed-full moon come to crest.

To have known and loved, I have been blessed,
even to have known them for just one day.
Into the night of heaven, where loved ones rest.

I know humanly emotions are put to test,
when great trials of tribulations heavily weigh;
as I watch a creamed-full moon come to crest.

Someday all worldly possessions I will bequest,
somewhere my mortal bones will forever lay.
Into the night of heaven, where loved ones rest.

Even though my life is lively, still full of zest,
I will always long for the ones, who could not stay;
as I watch a creamed-full moon come to crest.
Into the night of heaven, where loved ones rest.

When I look at the night sky, I see the smiles of lost loved ones pearing through heaven's seems as bright stars, Caryl. Beautiful villanelle. Congratulations on your win in Catie's contest! Love, Carolyn (PS - Jack and I loved your entry for the "ghosts" contest, but the contest stipulated it had to be about a paranormal experience. Wish we could have placed it as it was such a delight to read.)

This is a beautiful write Caryl. I always think that this sort of subject lends itself so well to a Villanelle (and vice versa!). All the best for the contest, i have been trying to write an entry myself but inspiration has deserted me! Best wishes Em :)
