In moments of loss, we often seek spaces that feel gentle, steady, and safe. Moon’s Gentle Keep is a poem that reflects on the quiet beauty of a place where grief is held with care, and where compassion becomes a guiding light. Inspired by the serene atmosphere and heartfelt support offered during a difficult time, these words honour the tenderness, thoughtfulness, and lunar‑soft comfort that helped ease the weight of sorrow.

Moon’s Funeral Service glowed soft and bright,
a haven carved from silver light,
where sorrow drifted calm and slow,
held safely in its lunar glow.

Its halls were brushed with quiet grace,
moon‑dust shimmering through the space,
a sanctuary where hearts could rest,
their grief made lighter, soothed, and blessed.

And Sophie listened with such care,
a steady, calming presence there,
she supported every trembling need,
with gentle words and quiet speed.

She made each moment work so well,
a harmony no words can tell,
her thoughtful touch in every part
brought comfort to our aching heart.

The candles shone like moons in flight,
their flames small stars against the night,
each one a beacon, soft and clear,
to guide us through the atmosphere.

We felt our sorrow start to ease,
as though the moonlight sought to please,
wrapping us in its silver thread
and lifting us when tears were shed.

Moon’s Service felt a sacred art,
each detail placed to warm the heart,
each gesture shaped with love so true,
a constellation carried through.

You held the space with lunar grace,
a quiet strength within that place,
until our sorrow, wrapped in light,
felt softened by the silver night.
