Full Moon by Red Dragon (Bernz)

While the world is hushed by the lullaby of the cold night breeze
I, alone in the darkness of the velvet sky, silently gaze
In the stillness of this eve, in solitude humbled
Away from the stars that refused to smile
I am meek, lowly.troubled

Clouds, whispering in clusters
Oblivious of my existence, to each other they mingle
Even them, idle to let me partake
In their merry affair, I am isolated
Deserted, I was suspended above
Like a lost crystal pendant from a broken necklace
Hanging on a backdrop painted in deep dusk
I lay there .while the night grow.
While the stream of time gently flow.

Many countless nights have always rendered me this scene
Nights of bitter winter, nights when the leaves are plucked
And gathered by the autumn air
Nights in the season when the land is dry
And hungry for the kiss of the rain
Nights when even butterflies seek for mates in the age of spring
Nights of emptiness, cradled by yearning.

Yet one cold summer eve, as I beam up high
With hope, like a flickering candlelight, slowly fading
My struggle was relived, for my spot I sought
To be revered as a new spectacle
However the clouds and stars did not agree
There I have waited for a soul to find or just even glance at me.

Not long after, I chanced upon a soul, travelling with a lost heart
The playful wind teased me to join this stranger's sojourn
And above this lost soul's path I radiantly gleamed
Unexpectedly my presence was felt and greeted with smile so kind
I was captivated by amazement; the experience sublime.

I longed to touch this stranger's heart
Yet I could not
For a hand clutched around that heart
The hand of another lost soul tightly keeps
Every single thump, every minute beat.

While the world is hushed by the cold night breeze
I, shine brightly amidst the pain
That no one will know what I endured and suffered
Pretending to be radiant despite the ache
Hoping that on one day's night, someone shall take me in
Someone who is free
Someone who, in me, when found
The happiness and kindness
Shall not forsake.

Red Dragon,

Sorry to say that this was the first work of yours that I have read. Actually, found you because of your recent comment to me. I can really, get excited about your manner and style, I see a lot more freedom expressed here, more meaning captured than in much of my own work because I HAD to make in Rhyme. Another strange thing, as I looked at the titles of your works, I picked this one Full Moon, and noticed your comment to G 03-18-2003, which happens to be my birthday! There is mystery in your moon.

Enjoyed this,
Thanks MartinV

Thank you, I don't feel so lost and alone now.
Knowing that I'm not the only one out there that feels this way.
Thanx
