Beyond The Moon's Embrace Poem by Barry Middleton

Beyond The Moon's Embrace

Rating: 5.0


the one I loved has gone before
a diamond in the night
she rests amid the silent stars
and hidden from my sight

though she may sing a melody
that I did once adore
I cannot hear her muted voice
from that most distant shore

I cannot touch her gentle hand
nor feel her rhythmic breath
nor sense the spice of her perfume
for they are stilled by death

and yet I know she waits for me
within some star lit place
where I will find her kiss again
beyond the moon's embrace

I just read this online. The words are so pretty. Yes, pretty is the perfect word. The content of course, is beautiful but sad. Beyond the moon's embrace are many people waiting to be kissed...again.
