“RIDE A MOONBEAM” by Bill Charles ~~~~ I knew her once as Moonchild, a poet whose words I did see, ones that were very touching, at least they were that to me… She came out of nowhere, with those words tender and sweet, seemed without a care in the world, her writings were so elite… I gazed up above, not knowing from whence she came, could it be here, or maybe over there, in that large universal chain… Wherever it might be, the distance might be so very far, I wondered how she got here, could have been on a falling star… Perhaps it was one moonbeam, coming down from the sky, bringing her to a new place, and letting her off, as it stopped by… She could then see new things, and again start to smile, and the night would see, that her thoughts were gentle, and mild… So she rode down out of the night, on her loving moonbeam, nigh unto an angel, with her eyes wide and all agleam… She pondered and wondered, and when she smiled, she remembered her happiness, when she became that special Moonchild… ~~~~ |

BC, Wonderful and sweet tribute to a wonderful woman. I am sure she'll enjoy this. Your thoughts are lovely.  LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Oh wow!!!!! *sigh* Beautiful. I'd have loved to respond in verse but I just couldn't do this justice. It's stunning. "Some people see the cup as half empty. Some people see the cup as half full. I see the cup as too large." ~George Carlin~ |

"Special" in your last stanza does in truth say the same. Well Done. AT |

Love it. Beautifully written, Moonbeam is lucky to have such a wonderful poem written about her.I am new and don't know everyone, so sometimes my responses may seem strange Red |

This is truly beautiful! I could picture all you were saying. Cool one here! Sauni Sauni :) Have you ever known the color grey when the nighttime finds you weak I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps |

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 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. I thank you for your friendship as I climb upon my beams To ride once more, this day of new to blend them into dreams. ~Wynter/Moonchild/Maureen * I shall post in open but with a slight universal change *s thank you Bill, was a pleasure to wake to.

Why sure she should post in the OPEN, we all belong in the open. I think our poetry belongs on the front page of the New York Times, but no one agrees!!! Every poet needs to be heard, we're all special, every last one of us, hey! guess that means me too!  Bill, this was very much needed, thank you!
