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

  1. 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.

  3. Capturing 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....

    this poem speaks directly to me...and with those essential differences, i relate with you..and feel for you, Kristin :)

    its a nice poem,

    wishes,

  4. can't barely find a comment for this magnificent piece, but then again the best music, the loveliest prose is born from sorrow

  5. 'alone in my chains' I guess we all are in a sense Kristin, you've captured something deep with these words.

    rising up
    beneath a crescent moon
    more longing
    than I
    can possibly bear

  6. given the fact that the moon can bring out the moodiness in all of us, i still consider her an inspirational friend - cheers Kristin : )

  7. A moody moment, one of loneliness. Very evocative.
