To My Mother Moon

Oh, Mother Moon
luminous source of sweet chance
make your finger-cymbals dance
so that tender drops of light drip
from your every fingertip
and every drop becomes a moon
that awakens me in my cocoon.

Oh, Mother Moon
my solemn gloom I fail to fathom
guide me with your healing wisdom
turn your glow into a smile
and place it on my lips a while
so that melodies of frolic remote
flow like Siren’s songs from my throat

Oh, Mother Moon
timeless fountain of intuition
turn into a wand of vision
and strike my restive soul
so that from its burning coal
long due opus of my muse
be born of enlightening views.

I praise you, Mother Moon
Goddess of metamorphosis
change your hazy nimbus
into sheets of pouring rain
cleanse me from all my strain
so that I can trail your insight
and thus become your joyous light.

Azadeh jan,

I'm struck by the resonance of your poem with my own feelings and the impressive image. Did it come from a dream? You're talented in many ways my dear. Hope you feel vital again after the great loss of your father!

Hi Mouse,

    Thank you for the laugh....English is funny 'cause there is no solacy, only lunacy and lunatic......I wonder why......I guess we can't blame the Sun for our problems....

I do a lot of wild-writing on paper.  This is still a very strange medium to me. 

I apprciate your warm supportive feedback.

Azadeh jan, I love your poetic talents

by Monda on

And your drawing is what I started my day with. Simply lovely... the simbals will play in my ears for a while.

I never had the words to explain the gift I have always received from my quintessential mother until this poem.  Specifically these words:

 

Oh, Mother Moon
my solemn gloom I fail to fathom
guide me with your healing wisdom
turn your glow into a smile
and place it on my lips a while
so that melodies of frolic remote

flow like Siren’s songs from my throat

Wow! Monda started the Moon series......

This is my favorite verses:

cleanse me from all my strain
so that I can trail your insight
and thus become your joyous light.

I am glad that people are talking about the positive and therapeutic effects of the moon.....I heard people blame the moon for lunacy before....

Thank you for the beautiful & soothing poem!
