Moonchild Moonchild, loveliest child of the moon Please shine all you wonders for us to consume They’re deep down inside you, just hidden away Waiting to sparkle when gloom fades away Your heart is just waiting for life to appear Your mind is just waiting to come out of fear Your soul overflows with great wonders to give And you wait the right moment to openly live Moonchild, loveliest poet in the sky Write me a tender and sweet lullaby Think of the most cherished thing that you know And then let the ink and the sweet passions flow From out of your pen comes the light of your soul From out of your heart all the sorrows unfold But sooner than later the ink will change tune And out will pour love from the child of the moon For life comes in stages like phases of moon Eclipses are just passing shadows of gloom Then your face will light up from the warmth off the sun And you will cast moonbeams upon everyone Love Liz |

I must agree with Rex...this is beautiful, Liz, and I am sure Maureen will love it. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Passionate Friends I have been overwhelmed by the responses of "friends" Have been answering, teasing, with words that I've penned. My clocks not in tune now, my hours turned 'round So I went to sleep early and this morning I found Many more emails alerting me to Many more poets warm words to review. I did my best wanting, to repond just a bit To the expressions of others, to enjoy what was writ. Then I came across one, couldn't be meant for me. Must have another Moonchild, that's it, had to be. But the curiosity caught and I had to check in.. Oh My! What I found...darn..made tears flow again. I can do that so easily, when touched by you "all" Whether happy or sad..they are partial to me and fall. But I'm so ..I don't know..at a loss to express How you've made me so welcomed, and how very impressed I have become with the warmth, the closeness, the feel Of a group of fine poets, that charm reel to real. Hearts on their sleeves, their movies of words I feel them, am touched by...every emotion incurred. Liz, I must thank you, I am not even sure What has brought this about, but the feelings are pure Of the happy you've made me and the warm felt inside I am trying to share all my feelings that I hide. And to all of you here, who've responded in thread I am greatful to all, and am blushing faced red. ~~hugs~~ to you everyone...especially Liz Maureen Moonchild |

Liz-such a dear friend you are to reach out and touch the heart of your fellow poet...I know she will treasure this and you forever. Nicely written and shows your tenderness well. |

Thank you everyone for your responses to this poem to a poet whom I would like to know better, but even though I know little of her life, Maureen has touched my heart with her poetry and here she is again, whipping out a thank you poem as easy as can be.I am so glad you liked my poem, Maureen. Take care Love Liz |

Sunshine, your thoughts are very beautiful, but if I'm going to be astride a white horse, I'm hangin' on to Lizzie, cause I can't ride worth a hoot. I'll just fly along with my angel wings. Thank you Sunshine and Kit Liz |
