Look, sister, moon rises and someone is weeping.
We know that mourning call, late in the night.
A sorrowed sigh of willows dip their faithful palms
Into puddle of shadow
Watching evenings painted beauty
Fall into fitful light of evening.
Golden eddies of sunset are covered
By shroud of silence that drops
Across the moon.
A woman in a sudden streetlight moment
And she comforts a chorus of caution
That wishes to be cried
And holds it in this waiting game.
It is black, but we are light
And our songs rise above dark timber
Echoes through valleys
Where the small and sorrowed curl.
Listen, sister, the moon, our sister
Smiles at us in our turning to tune
Fine knobs of need in night.

"Golden eddies of sunset are covered

Across the moon."
These lines are a poem all by themselves. BEAUTIFUL!
Your poem is ethereal. It sends chills down my spine. Your mixture of day and night, dark and light is outstanding. There is almost a dream-state to these well chosen, vivid words. I love this poem. Every stanza holds a different (but like) message, and image. You have captured the visual art well. The essence of the painter's work is shown through this solid poetry. Job well done Poet. I wish you the best in this challenge.
Much Love & Many Blessings ♥

I am speechless. This is the highest honor I have been blessed with in this life. This poem is is our mantra, dear one. I am astonished by your effort and humbled in your prescense. All the pain, all the sorrow were my refining fire. Now I am a person without rancor or judgement. I live only to touch with my words and share with those what wisdom and help I can. Thank you, dearest one - I am so moved.
