Love this. Very reflective and takes me out of the frantic behind and trying to catch up rut I'm in! Wish I had a six for this. They should give those of us that review more a larger supply! Enjoyed this a lot. mikey

What a great poem, I love the message of believing even when you can't see it. Faith is blind, and you have to just believe. It is not easy and I know I often struggle with it.

I really enjoyed this poem, it made the reader think of faith and also had a bit of education. It's easy to forget the moon controls the tides, but it may be hidden, it is always there.

Comment from Jeanie Mercer
Brooke, I love the way this lovely poem emphasizes that the moon and sun are still there, doing their job, even if we can't see them for awhile. (This reminds me of a favorite scripture in Isaiah that says God calls each of the stars by name and "not one of them is missing.") Love, Jeanie

Comment from TamzinWhite
I love the message, sentiment, of looking beyond the gloom and being aware that nature is there, perhaps you mean to help us find ways to uplift ourselves.
I think you could change a few lines to get rid of the 'but' x 2. It sticks in the rhythm for me.
Saying that so impressed and uplifted by the positivity and creativity.
Thank you for sharing.

Everyone knows the famous saying- "Seeing is believing." But it is not always the case in the case where heart and mind dictate, then truth is undeniably.
I felt the company while reading this poem. This poem is full of descriptive natural imagery. I loved the picture it painted in every stanza. I really enjoyed reading your poem, Brooke and as always beyond compare. Thanks for sharing.} Lin

I enjoyed the mood and scenes you captured in these rhythmic, rhymed quatrains. Your final stanza is serenely reassuring. Smiles- Joan

Your usual work with rhyme and rhythm...your word choice and imagery all work together to bring forth the faith in nature....the sun will come up and the moon will control the tides.
