Several nights in this gorgeous pavilion
and I began to have expectations
until my darling surprised me
he had to be off on a journey
so I sleep alone and don’t discuss
the whereabouts of clouds
around the lamp, now almost spent,
one lost moth is circling.

Been doing a lot of that this week.
Very emotional.
They certainly can be.
Beautiful. It brings back memories and shedding tears.
I’m glad you liked it. It does the same for me.

Yes.
