Peace & Stillness
midnight hush
even the wind is silent
a chorus so deep
crescent moon hovers —
civet cat thuds on the roof
figs fall in the dark
rainy moon softly
mourns autumn departure
tears slip through the clouds
moonless autumn night —
only the whispers of stars
warm family chats
the last moon quarter
sinks into the morning dew
the night exhales chill
While reading this poem I remembered the winter found in my soul and how emotional pain can sometimes feel exquisite, its truth captivating and profound. How the heart aches when it feels brokenhearted in summer and winter, exhaling the past and memory.
Excellent, evocative work
Excellent metaphors and thoughtful imagery. I especially liked the image of the thud of the civet cat on the roof. Welll done.
