A Brother Sun, Sister Moon Poem Thanks to ethome for the inspiration shine not tonight Sister Moon lest your beams reflect my tears let me hide here 'neath the pinpricks of starlight in dark while my heart heals from the memory of a love once known a love that shone as bright as your face on the clearest of summer nights a light as bright as the joining of our hearts beneath your eyes but tonight Sister Moon shine not on this hurting heart go and seek another who yearns for love and speak to them so that on a future night I'll not be moonlight lonely --------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

This is sad and sweet, sven...and hey...I talk to the moon all the time...but then I also talk to trees, and bugs, and even say "excuse me" to the furniture when I bump into it! But I digress... This is a lovely poem and I enjoyed very much!  |

Oh Sven, this is so beautiful. So completely heartfelt and gentle. You've written with your heart, not your pen. "When people show you who they are, believe them" ~Maya Angelou~ |

Is there a word for sad yet beautiful? You do it so well. There are many there with you on the moonless night, I'm the little one in the back, resting against a tree. At least, we are not too alone...here in the blue. |

Any post that speaks of moonlight gets my immediate attention, and thank you for not disappointing. This is fabulous. Kathleen Blake "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey." Laurie Lee |

Sven, you have done it again. It is almost St.Patricks Day and some how this seems to fit in. I have not a drop of Irish blood in me, so I may be wrong. Love this poem anyway. Hugs, ME |

Sven, thanks for the smiles through the tears. Sister moon responds thusly, do not shine, you ask too much perhaps my light could dim bring comfort to your hurting heart with argent glow more than silvery streams of fullness but know my face is always turned toward you in happiness or sorrow you are my reason for being you are my living flow a season made of sadness better impels the sun and when the darkness leaves you I'll be there for you, to shine anew my lost and lonely one. You know who. Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

AD dear heart, this is soooooooo truly beautiful, I love this Utterly Superb Just because I can't get here very often doesn't mean I've forgotten that when my soul is weary that here it will find surcease. Utterly fabulous work love, I suppose now you'll all say Bubbles, who's Bubbles? (I love this one and it's going into my library) I miss you all you know, don't forget me completely Love and warm stuff Bubbles They say that love is held within the soul, I say it's held in pages blue and blessed by being written by you. Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

I'm always happy when I inspire someone...and you certainly took the inspiration to heart and created a beauty....I enjoyed this very much my friend very much! For tonight I hope you're not Moonlight Lonely!! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

And your not reminded of the song? 'Silver Sister Moon' I shall have to do it on my tape to you.Hear me silver sister moon shining in the blue....... Aah laddie it does indeed have the celtic/mystical feel to it, so close to St. Paddy's day. I thank thee.. Isis *War produces one thing - Cemetaries.

Sven, this was absolutely lovely. So romatic and well expressed. I love it when a poem speaks to my heart and this one surely did that and more. KateGenuine poetry can communicate before it is understood. T S Eliot |
