Luna rides high in this cold March madness
Illuminating an ebony sky with pyrotechnic purpose.
Evening falls as silently as snow, and calmness settles.
This cold and bleek evening brings such silence,
a gentle peace, solemn stillness everywhere.

I hear the voice of my true self whisper,
"This is sure a Marge moon."
It sends me to my knees as I bend toward the earth.
An ear pressed against the wall between my heart, and my soul,
I wait, wish, listen for even one more word, or sign.

My spirit rises in the wake of a whisper to truth and hope.
In this solemn silence,
my heart is bathed in memory of love, and foreverly.
I continue to kneel silently in the shadows
Of a cold but beautiful March Marge moon.

Thanks for the inspire Titia and Midnitesun, the moon is definitely hers isn't it!

Everything ~ absolutely every thing, about this post, suffuses my being with emotion.

Marge finally got to meet the Man in the Moon!

Sharon, your heart and your pen are both beautiful ~ as were those of our beloved Margie Moon Girl.

I had send Tracie your poem and the one Midnitesun wrote and I just got an email back from Tracie and this is what she wrote:

Wow! I LOVE the poem Mysteria wrote. Thank you for sending those to me! I will send them to my brothers too. If you write to her, let her know that I really felt every word of that.

Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

She is easy to write about that woman!  There were just so many sides to her, and you'd be lucky if you knew them all.  It's funny, when someone passes away, I always find something I can see, or hold to remind me of them.  With Seymour Tabin, it was easy,he gave me a painting, Lyra (Madam Chipmunk,) sent me enough darn squirrels to remind me of her. Rebecca (Whtdove), sent her mother, Rae (Sandgrain,) to remind me of her always as we talk.  

But that goofy Marge is just about everywhere you look.  She has touched just about every living thing with her words in some way, but when I see I moon I always thank her.  Life is just way too short isn't it?  

Thank you all for reading.  Were it not for words, and memories, those we love would never be remembered.

You too moved me to tears, dear Sharon, with this wonderful Marge Moon!

Her spirit embraces us through the moonshine.

Love,

This is an awful pretty piece of poetry.
I enjoyed the calm surroundings you evoke,  and the love therein.
