bereft

my beggared heart

     wandered

               naked roads

impoverished

     of moon shine

deprived

     of sun's gift

bereaved

          of Muse

It wouldn't have been so bad if you'd not been impoverished of moonshine. I could stand a swig myself. hahaha You know I'm just ribbing ya? I like this except it's sad. Give that bereaved Muse a drink...You know the Bible says "Give strong drink to him who is about to perish and wine to those who are of heavy hearts"...there's a verse that doesn't get read much on Sunday from the pulpit!

the moon, the sun and the Muse all know each other well.

Empty and alone we miss the stars .. aggrieved, bereaved, they miss us.
Sad words, simply and beautifully strung.

One path leads to another...and often, they differ greatly!
I'm no wise pandit, but one mantra I know that always works.. "this too shall pass"
Goes without saying, amazing poetry.

it feels like one is in a black hole. follow the singing of the birds and the exit will appear.

SHORT, and to the point as always.Your muse may need some of that moonshine.

Muse is like the wind

. this is absolutely heartbreaking ... but exquisitely beautiful ... things will get better ... our willingness to look for light often is the key to finding light ... i'm sure you will ...

I love this, strange how with such a short number of words, you can afford to show so much. A portrayal of a fear and defeat I recognize, though perhaps I am being foolish to read to much into the words imprinted within this page. But with a love of your style comes a flourish of feeling, perhaps misconceptions shapes what we are trying to say. A short bitter-sweet symphony, I love it.

such longing and the lingering feel of things left unsaid. lovely piece of brevity.
