ON A SUN-LESS NIGHT by Norma Yanez
On a sun-less night two lovers meet to remember one another.
One was dead, the other alive, and betrothed to someone other.
They spoke, they loved, they laughed and teared,
No thought to time or current relationships.
Each knowing that with the passing of eons,
They’d once again be reunited.
A merciful God Goddess gives and takes
Our hearts, our minds, and our lovers.
But the circle of forever spins itself patiently,
All its memories under sun-less night covers.
To ignite and flame its fiery energy…
Again and again with new-old-others.
We learn and repeat until no more lessons remain for us to ponder.
And then move on to the next place, wherever that is, way out yonder.
Who knows, who cares, it is our destiny to evolve.
Does it take a blink? Does it take an infinity?
Does it matter?

I dedicate this poem to Mom, Jimmy Lee, Fred, my cousin Bobbie and all those who miss their loved ones. Until we meet again. I love you. Ruby *o*

WOW! This poem should win a big prize. I loved it and it did make me feel and recall my own loved ones who are not here anymore.
Thank you. Mary and Joe
