wishing I could
capture the moon as he
has captured me-
a cloudy sky leaves me
alone in my chains tonight

About Me
- Kristin Riggs
- I have had a passion for the written word, especially poetry, from an early age. I am first and foremost a child of God-a thankful recipient of His grace. I am also a mother, a teacher, a singer,and an overall music lover. I call the beautiful southern United States home, and growing up and raising my family here has shaped who I am in many ways. I believe that life- with its various emotions, experiences, trials, and joys-is a gift from my Heavenly Father. As a poet, I hope that my work expresses this. "My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him." -Psalm 62:1 Some of my poetry has been published in the online journals Simply Haiku and Notes from the Gean.
So sad and beautiful at the same time. As with everything in life there is a good and a bad side yet it is through the tough times that our strength, courage and compassion are built. Your words are very touching Kristin.

ReplyDeleteCapturing moon -- Dreaming the impossible or in a fantasy world....i find myself there, sometimes...but in my chains, i am happy, not sad...somehow, my experiences and spirituality have taught me to be detached even when in the chains....
ReplyDeletethis poem speaks directly to me...and with those essential differences, i relate with you..and feel for you, Kristin :)
its a nice poem,

can't barely find a comment for this magnificent piece, but then again the best music, the loveliest prose is born from sorrow
ReplyDelete'alone in my chains' I guess we all are in a sense Kristin, you've captured something deep with these words.
ReplyDeleterising up
beneath a crescent moon
more longing
than I
can possibly bear
given the fact that the moon can bring out the moodiness in all of us, i still consider her an inspirational friend - cheers Kristin : )
ReplyDeleteA moody moment, one of loneliness. Very evocative.
