Extinct Moon
“Now that I’m older, I have a much better appreciation of nature, and I love being alone.” – Gia Coppola
from this day forward
I am wedded to the stars.
the moon becomes extinct,
no longer shines
guiding us along our way.
I’m trying to be like the stars in the sky
shining on nothing;
waiting till the end of my days,
for you.

So poignant Toni. I love ‘wedded to the stars.’

This is mystical and metaphysical and as light as a particle of light. Beautiful.

Luxuriously mystical, and poignantly romantic, too! Bravo!

I like this perspective on the stars: “I’m trying to be like the stars in the sky
shining on nothing” I hadn’t thought of them shining on nothing before.

Captivating love poem Toni — I like its essence.

I adore each line Toni!

I really get the sense of longing in this, Toni. It is romantic but there’s a wistful sadness about it too.

I feel the love and connection to nature in your words. Beautiful!

Don’t ask for the moon… The stars are more constant.

I love the thought of being ‘wedded to the stars’ and ‘shining on nothing’. But, unlike the moon, the stars have each other.

I hope the “you” arrives sooner than expected.

Lol…it is already here znd has been. Not all poetry is autobiographical
