Moonlight Over the Hill

Listen to poem:
Written: January 23, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Regina Mcintosh "There are twilight times when only the moon will muse on my misery." By POET. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shadowy stillness does embrace Showing the town such a showplace People are fully dressed for sleep Love aching is a wound so deep The trees that line the waterway In morning softness, gentle sway She has no will but pain and weep Love aching is a wound so deep A painter shares his scene with care Each moment bears a love affair Regain some bliss others keep Love aching is a wound so deep The river's voice is full of pain Gorged in tremulous skeins of rain With love, its beauty holds a heap As it flows onward to the sweep Love casts a moon hush in the gloom Seraph love time starts to assume The moon shone down a hillock steep Love aching is a wound so deep

SP, I suppose there is indeed a lot of aching for love in this world. Loneliness is common. The art of the painter and I suppose of the poet can give a sense of bliss provided we have a fondness for life and nature. All very interesting to think about. Smiles!!

A very poignant write. Her heart aching for love cannot find any joy. She feels a deep wound within her. The wound of love is an ache that won't heal easily. Beautifully written Kyrielle. All the Best, dear friend.
