Where Yellow Moonlight Graced Her Pretty Face

Where Yellow Moonlight Graced Her Pretty Face When young, so damn foolish in my great pride I rode the wind, felt like a mighty king Looking back, find nothing I want to hide do most of it again, complete the ring. Days and nights flowing in sweet river songs where yellow moonlight graced her pretty face For such times, my soul now so deeply longs without sad heartache, I want to erase. Lost times, those nights disappeared into dark sadness flows in, reminds me of my past I was once, a vicious beast, hungry shark the good times flew away far, far too fast. When young, so damn foolish in my great pride My darkness did things I can not abide! Robert J.

Ah dear sweet regret! Captured beautifully here! How we beat ourselves up for the things we cannot undo and long again to repeat what we loved. You caught it! Perfect Sonnet (of course) A7

We've all done things that we regret, Robert. Letting go of them is not easy, but it's the only way to live in the present, and I think you're doing a great job of it with your lady and your poetry.
