The Moon Cried

Under the moon light I sat, thinking of the love that we once had.Then one day it was over and I didn't see him anymore. The tears came rolling down my face, while my soul was hurting inside. The moon saw me and she too, started to cry. Not knowing why - I asked - why and for what reason do you cry? She told me - I too loved once and lost, for our love could never be. The Sun was too far away and with me - he couldn't be. I understood how she felt and she understood too. I will never forget the night that the moon cried with me...

This has me smiling in appreciation. When love ends sometimes it is difficult to understand why. When you use the sun and the moon, it springs to mind that sometimes what we yearn for cannot just be. Well penned Lucilla!

I love poems depicting the moon as someone who lost her love. I have written of the romance between her and sun too. This was a very nice one to discover of yours!

The moon consoles so many lonely hearts over the course of time. We see what is not and hear what has not spoken.
