Questioned Reason

I searched for you in the night's dimmest light Found quiet loneliness stirring in the dark The moon's passing covered by clouds in flight As it slowly traveled its nightly arc This companion listened but never heard The words pouring from pained lips of sorrow And questioned reasons became unassured Still lost in the moon's light and tomorrow And what help does darkness bring that surrounds? When thunder rolls in distant skies alone And hazy eyes stumble across the ground In the dim scattered light the moon disowns To have found you before your departure And capture again the days in time's sand We looked into the stone of love's sculpture And found the tool marks of opposing hands Could I have given better understanding Could you have given love less demanding
