I love the use of the Sun and Moon. As I see the Sun as male and Moon female and the Sky as two hands clasp together in a cushioned security. As they come together life begins in warmth. Then as they part you get a sense it is not ending just a new longing.
I enjoyed this. -

It’s always a pleasure not only to read your master poetry but to enjoy your original forms also, to begin with the photo how it fits perfectly the ambiance, it’s alive and the breaking and sadness are felt from it, and again your life wisdom shines through your words, the turn at the end is sudden, I think this is how a heart breaks, sudden with no expectations, and that’s what your poem worded and shaped, for me this could turn into a beautiful sonnet considering the theme, the unfolding events of and the sudden change.

Hello, Dear Sonnet 🎶
Sitting here taking in the graciously brilliant soul breaths of your each living word, I could not help but travel back into our many years and unforgettable memories, to those moments we first met and began sharing poetry on so many different writing sites … and, all that has transpired between us that made an everlasting friendship and bond ⁓ like no other.
How I so deeply cherish recounting every nuance life took us through together, until (as it often does), when moment-by-moment we drifted, not really apart, yet, off into further callings and kismets that take hearts, souls, and minds down many paths t’ward eventual completion of existence off this mortal realm to we are eventually drawn. Ohhh, but how exciting our wondrous travails and blessings have been ⁓ together and apart.
Tho’, as I read through and felt your enthrallingly glowing, intelligently gentle, caring, appreciative, and graciously inspiring words in review for this uniquely rendered poem, I realized how bonded we truly were, are, and (hopefully) shall always be, through eternity. Differently? Yes! You as YOU, I as I can only be … yet, bonded by something, almost spiritual, respectful, and intrinsically blessed … beyond the limitation of words.
I’ve often marvelled at the insights you so vividly express about me and my poetry. It’s, almost, as if the moment I exhaled you inhaled, absorbing the sheer wispy essence of my poetic soul … one of the beautiful aspects of your being I’ve always marvelled at, adored, and loved.
Hmmm? Seems I’ve been needing to share with someone I know will understand, eh?
Ever-so thankfully, I bow to thee, Lady Ghounwah ⁓ Richard🖌-
“who am I to know God’s plan?”. If we surrender to this things would be much better and smoother, but human nature seeks control and with controling comes resistance, and all of this lead to nothing but trauma and unnecessary pain before we even realize it. Of course someone like You with all the wisdom He has knows all of this already and accepts life and everything as it is, One of the things which I really admire about You, and I think You’ve praised abilities more than I deserve, yet I’m honoured to receive them from You.
I guess I do understand, sometimes understanding is all what we can do.
May happiness, peace and poetry fill your days and heart✨🙏🏻✨

Chère C.,
I had to look up what the title means. And I understood the gist well.
The poems goes very well with the artwork.
Another outstanding write.
Pet je af (Dutch), hats off to you!
Kind regards, Gus-
hello dearest Gus it always amazes me when people know more than one language like you… I’m happy this worked for you thank you graciously ❤️

I love to fool around with languages. But I know I have to be careful.
The fun is in the things I don’t understand.
We say petje (one) af. You say hats (more than one) off.
I have one head and consequently one petje to take off. It amazes me that the English speaking people seem to have more than one head.Gus
