Moonlit Ways…

by Steven Holeyfield


Shadows darken moonlit ways
And the hours seem like days
All that time has forgotten
Now grows old, and smells rotten

Soon our paths must part my friend
And through the nights until the end
I’ve known you well until this hour
When we were to part, I smelled a flower

That one flower so sweet and pure
Like my heart so weak yet sure
That though it ends this darkened night
Always you’ll be within my sight

I need only look inside
The love I hold cannot hide
For soon your image it will fade
And I will walk the moonlit ways

(for Susan, whom I loved dearly)

Reason for writing:

    Pain, life is pain...
