Charles Messina Poet Verse

In the Glow of Half Moonlight

In my solitude...all alone tonight 
I walked along a path in the woods 
In the glow of half moonlight
 
Thinking to myself...thinking about my friends 
Thinking if I'll see them all 
When my own life ends 

In my solitude...when I walked along the path 
Thinking thoughts of my fun times 
Well, I just had to laugh 

Thinking to myself...thinking way back when 
Thinking if again we'll share 
Those lovely laughs again 

In my solitude...as I had walked alone 
I reached down on the path I walked 
And I picked a lonesome stone 

Thinking to myself...can I reach those stars 
Can I throw it far enough 
That the stone will land on mars 

In my solitude...all alone tonight
I walked along a path in the woods 
In the glow of half moonlight

Sheri Fresonke Harper July 27, 2019 at 6:46 PM Congratulations Charles for your honorable mention placement in the contest. There were so many fine poems entered. I loved the reinforcement of each stanza of the lonely walk and yet maybe not so lonely coming through. Bravo Charles Messina July 28, 2019 at 7:25 AM Thank you so much Sheri...Honored :)

Darlene De Beaulieu July 4, 2019 at 5:37 PM Hello Charles Messina, we all miss our friends and families that have passed. One day we will all be with our friends and families that have passed on. Have a nice evening my friend.

Panagiota Romios June 13, 2019 at 5:52 AM Hi Charles. Friends. I was dismayed to hear, no, we won't see most in heaven. Includes our family members, too. As you may have noticed, our world has no time for the Creator. Those not following His rules, will not be there. They honor the earth and deny Him. Anyway, the poem is great. Stars won't provide eternal life as lovely as they are. Panagiota

Jennifer Proxenos June 11, 2019 at 11:43 AM A very heartfelt write Charlie, the lines that are repeated makes it all the more attractive - when we are alone we think of our life and people and events that were responsible for these innermost thoughts! Well penned my friend, Hugs, Jennifer.

Swetha Vangaveti June 11, 2019 at 8:11 AM Deep introspection happens, thoughts and emotions pour out in solitude and when moonlight shines through, the talk with self deepens. A beautiful poem. Loved it. :)
