Moonlit Melody

poem in rhyming quatrains

 

Moonlit Melody

 

The night wind carries from afar

The soft sweet strains of a guitar.

Although the tune’s familiar

I cannot bring its name to mind

 

The soft notes carried on the breeze

 recall forgotten memories

Gently reminding me.

That fate was not always kind.

 

I’ve had my share of happiness

 I’ve known both failure and success.

They seem to balance more or less

So I am blessed with peace of mind

 

I sit and listen quietly

the distant music soothing me

 into a state of reverie.

 In which I find I am resigned

 

To being old and on my own

 a feeling which has slowly grown

Since my love died. left me alone

She had to go left me behind.

 

I know I will rejoin her soon

 beyond the mountains of the moon.

When death grants me the final boon.

I’m certain that I shall not mind
