Island Moon

I’ve loved your face, night and days of changing milk rays Sighs in blue and black, of times gone back; now so slack Love surely does wane, then mind’s sane…what’s to regain? And the road, in dirt’s goad climbs winding pigsty mode New moon midnight, holds tight a dark that can’t relight Damned are the seeds, as they’ve turned to weeds: What inbreeds! Mother who never did bother to write further Only too late, her full fate, was father’s sad state Oh lies have made me cry, but truth, is fair skies No more half turns, I have learned, those tides I will spurn. (7/25/2020 For Funom's keen observation contest; '62 Tradewinds 33; DMS)

A big big congratulations for this feat. I am so sorry this is coming a month late, due to the pressure, we medical practitioners are facing at this time, I didn't have the time to go through the contest, but I am glad I did. it was a difficult decision to make, a big congratulations to you once again.
