~ The Portal Moon ~ Of all the dreams I’ve dreamt each hopeful breath, and each lament my heart holds on to what is true time always circles back to you we were of the same vein I felt your pain I learned your soul I loved you, whole through the years, I remain the same destined to carry the eternal flame even though you’ve slipped away I carry it still, to this day I still journey through the night and pray to the moon to use her sight so she would always make it known: you never walked your path alone Moon, be my portal carry love immortal whisper with gentle strength protect him, to any length now, I know not where you roam but memories of you bring me home beyond where bittersweet is buried home is where eternal hope is carried. © Dahlia Ramone: February 14, 2021 * This was written for Blogophilia Topic: Promised Rose Garden Prompts: (1) Use a song title from Frankie Valli and/or the Four Seasons: (“The Night”) (2) Mention a town or city from North Dakota (“Portal” and “Hope)
Excellent.

Riffing Dahlia “Through the Portal”
When a search begins with “Look to the sky,”
it certainly helps to be able to fly.
A leap of faith implores “Return to send,”
which requires a measure of pretend.
It is always sound practice to ask of Moon,
in hopes your misplaced destiny comes home soon.
But in the event, he has gone away for good,
might you follow, if asked? I think you would.
A portal is not as a swinging door,
with two sides, a ceiling, and a floor.
Sometimes it is but a lesson to learn,
this is a one-way tour with no return.

Love requires a measure of pretend
That such bliss could never end
If a hand were extended for me to take
Nothing but dust would lie in my wake
The portal has an aura we call Fate
With no beckening hand, we wait
Is the lesson he’s not coming back
Or do I stay, trapped in a flashback?

Love this, Dollface! I always look out my window at night to see if the moon is visible. 🙂 If there’s no moon I say, “Eh no moon.” If I do see the moon I say, “Eh a beautiful moon.” LOL I crack myself up.
