Moon Glow

Tears lost and alive
Finding hope with golden moon
Regrets I’ve left holding close
Tremble in my angst
Rising once more with your smile
Shimmering in your full moon

Can't imagine a sky without a moon. Can't imagine a poet without a moon to write about. Yours is so lovely with the image and emotion too.

There really is something about the moon that helps us put things in perspective. It always makes me remember I'm but a speck in the universe. Better to be a happy speck! Great entry for Russell's contest, Jimbo. Best wishes for success. Love, Carolyn
