Ever gently the moon did rise Distant unmoved by her cries Alone 'neath a weeping willow Many, many long years ago Dreaming love would come Waited a long millennium That's when bolted cupid's arrow Many, many long years ago Sunsets to soothe her soul As ruthless time would take its toll Her lover's soul a rodeo Many, many long years ago Empty loneliness pervaded As each final moonray faded To love raise a glass of Bordeaux Many, many long years ago Submitted on December 16, 2019 for contest STRAND SPECIAL 4 sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - HONORABLE MENTION July 9, 2019 for contest WRITING CHALLENGE 1, JULY 2019 - REPEATING REFRAIN sponsored by DEAR HEART - RANKED 3RD

Line, "Many, many long years ago" quite a refrain for the mystery that is life. -Richard

Question: Do you know if it's mandatory to use the refrain as the title in this contest. I didn't. Maybe I should have. Please advise if you know. Thanks a lot! :) gw

Always good not to put all your eggs in one basket. It's like owning stocks... you have to be diversified. Have a great day.
