Captured moments

Love shall stand the distance known

 

Captured moments

by jack 

 

Cotton candy clouds adrift

Upon this twilight’s opal skies

Silently O’ colors formed

Of taking breath and casting sighs

 

Aglow, a moon of muted light

Above these branches, rests in wait

Reaching o’er the final glimpse

Now as this day it does negate

 

Here I stare in thoughtful dreams

Wondering o’er scattered winds

Shall this spell of moonlit phase

Bring my love to you again

 

A’ dance upon your waking heart

Soft of light, O’ chilled caress

Of these miles we stand apart

Filled with hope and lone confess

 

Captured moments, sorted time

Found entwined of this we see

As a fragile silhouette

Wafting through so endlessly

 

Hear my voice, O’ call the distance

Echoes of a promise true

Far beyond this beaconed vision

Steadfast in my love for you

The last lines had me!

"Hear my voice, O’ call the distance
Echoes of a promise true
Far beyond this beaconed vision
Steadfast in my love for you

- stuff dreams are made of and dream we do as we go through these lovely lines adrift with cotton candy clouds and awash in muted moonlight.

It pays to wait for love when the fruits are as sweet as this poetry.

Thanks for sharing Jack!

I love the soft spoken message in this poem. As it is a full moon this evening the poem brought the outside images to life with new meaning. What a great picture you captured! So talented - poet, painter, photographer and more. The last stanza is a nicely woven climatic conclusion. Well penned, Jack! In the favorites!
