Sickle Moon

Another venture into late night

Sickle Moon

sickle moon

gathers late night

eyes into

another place...

deep shadows

yet looking up

call of the

night to

be at peace...

slow reverent

walking

past streets

steeped in silence

being quiet...

being alone...

brings peace at last...

even at night, there is a guardian, a gentle strong guardian, gifting the earth, the world, the creatures, big ones or little ones, that soft light, a company to those whom are alone... the peace, for those who are able to feel...
another poem filled with smoothing quietude....

Thankyou so much

A very pleasant 'venture into the night' Again, I like your use of dots at the end of some lines ... they carry our thoughts along to the ' peace at last'. Well done.

I like the idea of the "sickle moon" gathering. I've been out visiting graveyards in the middle of the night and taking photographs of old headstones. Some folks ask, "What were you doing in a graveyard at night?" I say, just sensing the quiet and perhaps a bit of my own mortality. I like to think the graves might like a bit of company as well.

Thankyou so much Fabian, its good to sense that quiet that you mention and, indeed, we are just mortal beings

‘Dream-walking’- awake or asleep into the peaceful night...beautiful imagery of “ sickle moon”at once haunting and serene- opening a door of dark majesty. Beautiful language, form, flow, repetition at the end. ...leaves us wanting more... Kudos my friend!
