Lost In The Moonlight
The hardiness of roots so deep,
misplaced trust let sadness creep.
Wander soul with lost intention,
mindful thoughts meet contention.
Wistful feelings beneath the moon,
as life long dreams now lay in ruin.
My endless search till break of day,
a silent voice that needs to pray.
Solace sought in desperation,
moonlit sky of inspiration.
Vastness reflects upon my eyes,
this worthless feeling I despise.
In sun's warmth, I shall now dwell,
my life no more, a living hell.
In faith I found, my strength within,
freed my roots, from all my sin.
My dark cloud with silver lining,
light my way, be defining.
Moonlight shadows, cast aways,
be no more, upon my days.

inspirational
this was a great read about courage, strength and being inspired to pull one's self out the depression and move forward. from the darkness into the light. the positive outlook. its always darkest before the dawn. your imagery was superb. this should give all who need it inspiration. maybe the tree symbolizes a rebirth, since every year they shed their leaves until the following spring. great write and good luck in the contest -

Normally a flow would be perfect when matched with syllables, but here I felt something was missing.
Wander soul with lost intention, how about wandering
mindful thoughts meet contention. now meet contention?
Over all I found it pleasing and delightful to read. Very good work.
Good luck and God bless. Rose
