THE SILENCE OF THE MOON: A POEM
To give, to say,
To take from your skin
To cover what is left.
No damp, dark place,
To curl, to fold,
To twist into something new
Like a chrysalis about to crack open.
No salt, no pain,
To spill, to drip,
To squeeze out of the stony pits
Of your shadowed gaze.
No sound, no breath,
To whisper, to sing,
To birth the tale
Of your death.
But scavengers and undertakers,
Coffin makers and mourners.
There is not even love,
To say good bye,
To light a candle, to drop a wreath,
To stare at your fading picture
When everything else has gone.

read this poem thoroughly I found the poet's efforts, nothing eternal, all can come and go. answer what can be done is the right step that can be done, or just a feeling of regret when all is gone
Thank you for reading and for stopping by. I glad you liked it.
I like read it
I'm curious, How long before you can finish creating your wonderful poems?
because if it's me, maybe this will take a day or more of contemplating 😅
