My Friend, The Moon

Missing image

My friend, the moon -

Whose company I keep,

 

Hangs with me

And my thoughts

 

As I dismally weep;

Disillusioned by sorrow

 

And welcoming sleep;

All is in vain;

 

My dreams I will keep

Until tomorrow,

 

When I will reap

The reward of my suffering;

 

A gift to the meek -

Thanks to the moon,

 

Whose company I keep;

Its brilliant light shining,

 

Waiting to lead me,

To guide my soul

 

Peacefully home -

At last, free.

 

Author notes

I wrote this during the ending of my 10-year marriage, telling my ex-ol' man  one night, while sitting on the porch with a drink, and looking up at the moon, "The Moon Is My Friend," then I wrote this poem. He never let me forget it. He still asks me, "How's your friend, the moon?" He thinks I'm nuts. He doesn't know I'm really The Goddess of the Moon(!!)

    Excellent write!

    Cyn, I like the rhyming scheme you have used and the way you've structured this poem. The moon as companion and then also as guiding light to your soul ... brilliant!

    Best wishes for great winnings in the contest.

    Love,
    Rachel.

    Let's try this again with the right member of my family.
    Why is it that all my family members love the Moon so much?
    Lord, Im calling you my Mama Moony.
    Hi, my name is stella today, and Im a dingaling
    Sorry Cyn, Im getting confused, cause Im trying to comment and work at the same time
    dont tell the boss, okay?
    and yes. . .this poem makes me think of my Mama Moony. You know her dont you Cyn?
    You sit on one side of the moon,
    and she sits on the other.
    Best wishes in this contest. Even if Im a dingaling
    Love always.

    A truly Lovely poem

    I see unlike me the moon is your friend.

    Strange how although your poem is sad also you regard the moon as a friend and I see it as an enemy.
