Moonless Reflection

In the black and empty night
I walk with my last memory of you,
Moonless walk
--------- mirrors regret
-----Too late to say "thank you"
--------- to tell you "I forgive you"
--------- to ask your forgiveness
--------- to bless your journey
--------- to affirm "I love you"
Moonless talk
--------- mirrors regret.
-------I could only utter
------------"goodbye". . . .

Oh, WOW! I am nuts about this one. I've read it over and over and it nearly makes me cry, each time. I love the way the "Moonless walk", "Moonless talk" and "regret" 'mirror' themselves and each other.

 

Regrets...I imagine we all live with them.

Agree. I like the mirroring.

Thanks Tammi, It sometimes makes me want to cry when I read it but I'm a little closer to the subject. Thanks for reading it.

 

 

Hi Marti, I was playing with words trying to create an almost chant like effect. Thanks for commenting.

It is much like a 'visual echo', Judi, and I love it.
