My whispered words trail to a halt Her sobbing muffled by the wind Beneath our faithful trusted tree Concealed from Luna’s prying eyes We share the pain of anguished hearts As time draws near for us to part And take divergent paths of life To quell the urge of bridled love. When dawn approaches we shall leave With nothing else but memories Unloosing hands from this embrace Our shattered dreams can’t be replaced. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- Hugs Poetry Contest Sponsored by Craig Cornish Placed 3rd Chosen p.o.t.d. on 8th June 2020 © 7th June, 2020

Parting may be sweet sorrow, but your words reach the very depth of the reader's heart. I found myself longing in vain that your words would not end and it would not be the final embrace.
