Strained Hearts

That sliced harvest Crescent rising erubescent , weaned from previous Orb shining, looked down on lovers pining, separated by distance at tragedy’s insistence. As it slid across the sky, the lovers asked it "why?", But nought was said by that celestial Slice; they both knew .. they were paying the price.

Very sentimental Robert. I have been trying to keep up with my comments but i keep getting road blocks. They are trying to keep us happy but all we do is grumble. Thank you for reading and commenting. Love, Joyce

What lovely imagery of the moon and the lovers separated by distance, Rob. Love the way the lovers ask the "celestial slice" why it's sliding across the sky. Very nice, my friend. Love, Carolyn
