yesterday i was screaming in silence,
and you both paused to listen.
yesterday i was drowning in pain,
and you both grasped my weakened hands.
yesterday i was struggling for words to say,
and you gave me your gentle voices.
last night i looked at the somnolent sky.
the crescent moon was curled up, quiet,
hiding alone in its blanket of clouds.
then two angels swept to my side
and lulled my troubled soul to sleep
cradled in their starlit wings.
To my two angels

Beautifully evocative imagery and emotion, as I've come to expect from your soulcasting, moon.
I hope that you are well.

Moon....***i am peeking in from work so i will add some tonight***For now i just wanted to tell you that i am smiling...... because you had those wings fluttering around you last night....Maybe i can guess who or waht they were.....Sometimes dragonflies, sometimes butterflies, sometimes little angels...what it matters is that you have been able to sooth your restless minds and your trouble heart....Because sometimes we do worry over nothing.... don't we?But sometimes we do find solace from little things..don't we?{{{[hugs}}} -

wombat said on Mar 18, 2008....
Like skald I am curious. Just wanted to say I liked the poem, and you make me want to write some of my own again. Nice work. -
wakingharmony said on Mar 18, 2008....
Moon, how wonderful and beautiful you are just as your Angels. I happen to know a bit about them hehe could their Initials be D & J? I find a rather warm and familiar feeling in your Angel Poem as I also lay upon my bed eyes closed imagining the Moon with a misty glow about it last night. thinking also of a poem about the moon and love. (((((Moon))))) -
Lucytorial said on Mar 18, 2008....
Well this just makes the case even stronger that you would have to be one of the most charming, sensitive, lovely, intelligent and creative men I've met here.
This poem is sublime!

moonriver said on Mar 19, 2008....
Dear everyone--
I write this note, not in my usual "comment format," but as I would write a private letter to a dear friend, because I consider you now as dear friends. In my 17 months here at Soulcast, rarely have I felt deeply humbled and made speechless by such overwhelming response as you have made me feel here, at this moment.
As I read each comment, my instinct is to imagine the blogger behind the words, and give him/her the tightest hug that I can. And I will hug you fiercely but quietly. I won't dare utter any word, for fear that what will come out of my mouth will be a freak sound, a ridiculous hybrid sob and laugh and rebel yell that would probably startle you and ruin the magic of the moment.
Oh, to have a free 24-hour day that I can devote to SC starting right now, and to be free of any personal obligation or privacy concerns, so that I could tell everyone how I deeply appreciate all your kind words.
I've been meaning to write a poem like this, always in my dark and low moments, when a simple gesture of sympathy and understanding was all it took to pull me back again into my usual cheerful self. Yes, what inspired me to actually write the poem were Babylu and Papajack. They played the role of my angels yesterday.
But I hasten to add that all of us can play, and do play, the role of angels to each other, here online as well as in real life. Like Gingersoul said, "Sometimes dragonflies, sometimes butterflies, sometimes little angels...," what matters most is that these little gestures help soothe our pained souls and help us cope through a restless day and a sleepless night.
I will never forget all of you. And I hope to meet you in real life, somewhere in time, so that I could pay you back all the warmth and smiles and kindness that you have given me. It is all stored here, in my heart.
Your friend always, bowing in all humility,
--Moonriver

{{{{{{Moon}}}}} I want to hang around as much as I can! I rarely get to see my Angel friends here as of late..... Guess I should have not been so stubborn about flu shot. I just dont feel I should get them for what ever reason.... You are such a pleasure to read..... one day soon I will come out of the boonies and get high speed for now I am lucky to get dial up I guess! {{{{{{{{{Disinfected}}}}}}}}}}}}'s and a kiss on the cheek :-) -

Lucytorial said on Mar 20, 2008....
You know moonriver, people here effect me deeply you are one and one I would be so very honored to meet you in real life.
I have a love of dragonflies and damsels of which we have millions of up here, I love to sit and watch them and by chance sometimes they land within my breath, dance about my face leaving me feeling so very light and loved.
Love to you friend, heres for a bit of time off hey!

moonriver said on Mar 20, 2008....
living girl, margaret (waking), queenie, and tobi lee (lucy) -- I would write and dedicate a poem for each of you. If I could.... but I can't.... so I won't... Lol. Hey, it was just a joke. ((ducks)) No grrrrs pls.
Thank you again for the kind words. Yesterday, my very special angel visited me, talked to me in a sweet voice, and wrapped me tight in her starlit butterfly wings. Had a very peaceful full-moon night sleep. No need to howl and growl... for now. :-)
