I'm Forever Riding Moonbeams


I'm forever Moonchild,
no matter change of name.
Born in June, a special month,
in warmth, arrived the same.

I share it with the many
moonchild's everywhere.
It says we can be moody,
so "buyer must beware".

But poetry escaped me
for all those years that passed,
until I rose to skies above
on beams, the moon would cast.
~*~

I came from out of nowhere,
an indigo of space,
where stars would shine, the moon was full
and nothing's out of place.

I traveled distance lengthy
to land upon a world,
of words so universal,
as other's lives unfurled.

Captured in each moment
was I, in passion's hold.
Then came a meet of blue eyes,
to set a memory in gold.
~*~

I ride the waves of nighttime
and float upon each morn,
when rhythms overtake me
and rhyming thoughts are born.

Although the dawn of writing
had come by chance of need,
developed I desires,
my minds eyes constant feed.

Turning words to satisfy
my hunger to express,
I share with you a thought or two
as yours I taste, ingest.
~*~

As each one brings to me a smile
or nod of "understand",
a feel of real sweeps over me
of printed word in hand.

Although my mood may swing me
and my words can hear me groan,
it's wonderful to know that
there are times I'm not alone.

I thank you for your friendships,
as I climb upon my beams,
to ride once more, this day of new,
to blend them into dreams.
~*~

Completely beautiful. The ending was outstanding!

Ok, Maureen this really got to me! Yes we poets and writers have a driving need to be heard and read and share. There are people who come and go from the forum and I left but you know, and we all have our own reasons, the bottom line is, this is a forum to write and be heard. I'm glad you are here!

I think we as poets all can share these sentiments. Well done. (although I am a winters child and don't have that warmth from the sun. *w*)

Enjoy life...this is NOT a dress rehearsal. *s*

I thought your poem was so beautiful. Anything to do with the moon is so romantic and I felt like I was riding moonbeams.

I was so glad you decided to return...if and when I go I will slip away unnoticed, because I know I shall return

Tammy
You must have been born in the early part of the month I am at the end..and a cancer..some would say pretty crabby sometimes

Donna
nothing wrong with being a Wynters child
thank you for the visit

Corinne
thank you I was trying to think of a way to respond to BC's poem he wrote for me...*s

James
so like me you are...I can do several things at once or change my mind and do whatever the mood in me feels..I am very spontaneous...My birthday is June 26th so we share the same moon *s

Suetang
thank you for the kind words...I use to be called M/Moonchild on here when I first came
so the poem that was posted to me was about her..and I wanted to respond.

Moonchild - my dear one, you have outdone yourself this time with this writing. And, I am so glad that I posted "Ride A Moonbeam" for you. I do pray that you once again will ride the moonbeam, and bring back some of your writings as "Moonchild".
