tonight, will you return?

the moon tonight peeps
behind clouds of steely gray
and like the hope i keep
breast-hid even while i pray
brings a silvery ray of hope forlorn
soothing, because it is forced to sooth
the aches left behind unsmoothed
by life's unwarning thunderstorms
you left, and i knowing not why -
unwanting to, must sigh and weep
and wanting, ending in death
do wish, do yearn to die
but love through the clouds of steely gray
as the moon, are you my hope
that tonight, i must wish and yearn again for life?
love, will you be, are you returning tonight

This is a truly stunning, powerful poem. The second stanza, in particular, leaps out and catches the reader by the throat.
There's really nothing I can say about the death of your grandfather that won't be either cliched, pointless, or ineffectual. But I am, for what it's worth, truly sorry.
