Moonlight Ponderings

T.S. Elliot inspired this one....

Moonlight Ponderings……

________________________________________________

Ponder, we do, the midnight sky

Each of us, alone, separate and nigh

You in Ecuador and me here

Separated in longing quite severe

Pondering the stars and the moon lit night

Sharing the glow yet out of sight

I cannot see your face or feel your touch

Yet a connection exists ever so rough

May you gaze upon the lunar orb above

And think of me as I gaze in love

Waiting until the time we can share

The touch and kiss sans distance fair

Mind’s restless wanderings a far

Of hikes past in Audobon’s park

And shared explorations

Through Nottaway’s Plantation

Of cross country expeditions

You in your truck and me in my car

I’d follow you anywhere

Down highways domain

Roadside hotels and eating lomain

Ever, just out of touch of me

My mind and my life to be

A wanderer, explorer of life’s questions….

You cannot be satisfied

Living  statesside

with land and a horse

Some puppies, a pack, and children of course….

 

My heart is yours to be carried at will

Yet you belong somewhere I cannot follow

For studies could not be treated so shallow

Our time is not now, nor will it ever be

Our time together must be just a memory

 

White, gray, dusky clouds pass across our midnight light

Our spectral connection is lost in the dust

Of nature’s time and distance’s cusp.

What was is then best tucked away

In the precious memories of the day

Yet often times I read of you

 

I hear your name and ponder anew

I look up and what do I see?

The moon at full swoon, looking down on just me.

I enjoyed the lines regarding how the stars and moon are a conduit. It's true that even afar, we share certain things at the same exact time, regardless of distance. That energy is powerful and strong. True chemistry, love and yearning in this story. Awesome.

[Bright Ocean Star]

Thank you, G. I am happy to see you here again. Thank you for your kind words...:)

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Wow this is quite spectacular… sometimes love does not have the best timing, but the memories it leaves can last a lifetime and be a comfort in times of loneliness.

[Bright Ocean Star]

Absolutely. Thank you, Cowboy for stopping in to read this one. I'm very glad you liked it. Sometime love is simply not enough, or maybe wrong time, wrong person....It all shakes out in the end...:)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Yes it most certainly does.

This is beautiful as the night sky in the desert.
The emotion adds to the beauty.
There is sadness, and longing. Wistful.
Well written, well played. ^^

Yeah, of course, I like even love it .. I always love reading your stuffs, honey. I still remember, last time, I was inspired by your one write "Blessed Be The Angels" and got an opportunity to write something on it ... and today ... here you not even inspired me by your artistry but the entire world with the heart so that the people not even could write just a write but make a love ~~ finding peace in it with hearts to be loved ~~ to being loved not once .. twice or thrice but billions of millions of trillions times ~~ with love ... because love`s itself an artistry ~~ it`s a reason of "Poetry" .. indeed. Lovely poem. I`m pleased to read your sexy write once again. You always touch my seductive heart through your calm words. It`s a very precious piece to me, an excellent job, Honey .. All the best for your upcoming stuffs!!

Yes, pondering the midnight sky, we become aware of our connection with all things. Your poem inspired me to write this tiny gift song-poem for you. It’s in 1/0/1/0/1/0/1 seven syllable overlapping rhyme: Sing along:

Bonding Tie

Though we’re living poles apart
underneath the midnight sky,
its majestic stellar art
forms a cordial bonding tie.

Though a shooting star may dart
far into the by-and-by,
it lights pathways through my heart,
corridors that bring us nigh.

[Bright Ocean Star]

Oh, Aethereal, bless you for this beautiful gift. I am honored that you were inspired by my poem enough to gift me with this little gem. Thank you, my friend...:)
