Bernard Chan Poet Etheree

The Size of a Moan

aah…
you say
a tensed note  
almost unheard
but in that one moan
time comes to a standstill
for rapture forgets the past
needs no future to give it hope
it simply is, expands, fills, abducts
takes us to an edgeless place and beyond

I love every line of your exquisite poem that builds wondrously to a consummate last line, topped off with a brilliant title as well. Warmest wishes my friend.. ~Susan Bernard Chan October 16, 2018 at 11:50 PM Thank you, Susan! Your comments are always so generous. Truly appreciated, as always :)
