Lonely Moon Poem by Sandra Feldman
Lonely Moon
The Moon will shine,
Without your smile,
But no longer shall it be,
A Moon that shines for me,
Gone are the days,
When you'd just stay,
So close, smiling at me.
The Moon is cold,
So I am told,
And winter's here for me,
When love is gone,
There is no Sun,
The Moon is all I see.
Oh lonely Moon, my lonely Moon,
Poor orphan in the sky,
Detached from mother Earth,
Your barren surface has no life,
No hope, no love, no mirth.
Oh Moon alone,
Made out of stone,
Rotating in the sky,
A phantom ship,
No life to grip,
No tears to even cry,
No one can feel your loneliness,
As deeply as can I.
Such an awesome write worthy of a full vote, Congrats, Sandra.....10+++++
Blown away by your comment and very grateful! . Thank you very much.
I feel this poem a lot! For me probably in different reasoning than for most? But because after my injury it's left me abandoned by all my old friends. And I'm unable to get out and make new friends so it's left me constantly sitting by myself for many many years
What a wonderful poem! So full of beauty! Thank you so much for this piece!
This poem is heartbreakingly beautiful. The imagery of the lonely Moon perfectly captures the emptiness of loss. The way you weave sorrow into each line makes it feel so real, like a quiet ache in the night sky. It truly speaks to the soul—haunting, deep, and unforgettable.
Thank you so uch for your beautiful and understanding words for this poem. Truly appreciated!

I am so intrigued about your use of the moon- -most people just leave it sailing through the night sky. You boarded the moon, you gave it life- an orphan of its Mother Earth, [that is so powerful].. I am in love with your closing stanza- - - -]Oh Moon alone, Made out of stone, Rotating in the sky, A phantom ship, No life to grip, No tears to even cry, No one can feel your loneliness, As deeply as can I........................................ This is excellent writing and as excellent a closure as any I have seen. Brilliant. Deserving of at least a 10. Has it ever been made Poem of the Day? It should be.
