Frederic asked in Arts & HumanitiesPoetry · 7 years ago

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.
