Muted moon dreams - a poem
68Muted moon dreams - pain of the past
Muted moon dreams, is about pain of loss and the inability of the mind to let go, the mind seems to serve up memories when they are least expected, causing pain.. This is about some pain from the past that refuses to die, stubborn holding on even while I keep hitting the delete button... Sometimes I wish it was so easy to let go.. forget and move on... pain seems to linger like an unwanted guest. The silvery moon which was once a symbol of beauty and love now appears like a ghostly muted dream in monochrome. This too shall pass.....pain can never linger on... the moon will once again become to me all it once was.......
Muted moon dream in monochrome
Swathed in the pale light of the moon,
Silvery leaves tremulous in the breeze,
Cold shawl of shadows cocoon,
Reality's hold upon me cease!
Vagrant mind, wandering lost,
In the paths of turbulence past,
The moon brings up memories deep,
Of hours of absent sleep!
Peace that once resided here,
In the beauty of the world so dear,
Now seems so distant ,
Muted moon-dreams silent!
Loss does seem to weigh heavily,
Where moon light did lift ethereally,
Tears and pain compete,
Resolve concedes defeat!
A delete button would be nice,
To toss out the unwanted in a trice,
Stubborn memory, holding cruelly ,
Opening wounds constantly!
Silvery moon your rays penetrate,
Denying merciless pain the chance to abate,
Through windows shut, stealthily creeping,
Awakening agony, soul sweeping!

There is beauty yet pain. Wishing you peace and joy, my friend!
This is beautiful but very sad..I hope your pain is gone. God bless you...
i wish I had even a pinch of your poetic talent! Oh well, I'll just have to keep reading yours.
Ruchira, Life is a mix of both joy and grief and it is important to approach both with the right attitude. I cautiously avoid falling into sadness and have a handy outlet for any overwhelming emotion through my poetic muse...Thank you for your comforting words. I value them. Have a blessed day. Peace and Joy!
AE, when I have such loving people to lift my spirits, how could I be sad any longer? ... thank you for you kind words, your support means so much. Have a blessed day! Shalom!
Phoebe Pike, welcome to SD's little world. Thank you for such generous words... You have left me dumbstruck! Have a blessed day! Love and Peace!
how does it happen that a thing of beauty becomes the specter of your serenity...haunting yet sadly beautiful...
So beautifully composed and the sadness also combined gracefully .
A wonderful hub and here's to so many more for us to share on here.
Take care;
Eddy.
shim this was amazing.. im speechless or commentless..
raciniwa, The very thing we love becomes the very thing we hide from... ironical but true.. Don't we love happy jumpy chirpy songs when we are happy and detest them and find them out of place when our mood is not so chirpy..?? Thank you for your interesting comment..Have a blessed day. Peace!
Eddwen, Thank you for your kind words. Sadness and poetry do go hand in hand, as love and poetry mingle, I guess.. Have a blessed day. Peace!
Frank, I love you speechless comment! :) Have a blessed, glorious day! Peace and love!
