Does this poem convey its story " Questioned Reasons"?
I searched for you in the night's dimmest light
Found quiet loneliness stirring in dark
The moon's passing covered by clouds in flight
As it slowly traveled its nightly arc
This companion listened but never heard
The words pouring from the lips of sorrow
And questioned reasons became unassured
Still lost in the moon's light and tomorrow
And what help does darkness bring that surrounds?
When thunder rolls in distant skies alone
And hazy eyes still are searching the ground
In the dim scattered light the moon disowns
To have found you before your departure
And capture again the days in time's sand
We looked into the stone of love's sculpture
And found the tools marks of opposing hands
Could I have given better understanding
Could you have given love less demanding

Well thought out, I liked how you kept the descriptions in the moment and realistic. It was so good I read it through a couple times and the message of love and compassion and respect was so clarified in the couplet.
