I Sat Alone

I sat alone with the moon last night – in the deep dark; till the dim light and then the morrow; I spoke of Love's enchantment... of Love's joys, and of loveless sorrows... I asked, had she also counted – with the happy hours – the many unrequited tears? Had she kept a few of my own? For joy and sorrow, does Her Light show different tone? Or for Her, is it all the same moan?

Hi Pangie; yep, can't deny it -- if writing is not deep feeling (less mechanical, and structured) It can't even begin to approach, what I would call poetry. Poetry is really a synonym for, From-the-heart....
