Moon Child

Moonchild born
Named Jakayla Mynda
meaning girl crowned in laurel
becomes woman of great knowledge
The moon my husband
As cerubims of blue
come to cut the silvery cord 
of nourishment
Souls being nourished
and the babe growing with earthly
and surreal parents
Her star chart is a stellar one
A moonchild wears her crown of laurels
and her knowledge grows abundantly
day by day til the moon shines down

I'm a moon child too, Susan. Is that your astrological sign? Great poem -- especially like the reference to "cerubims of blue" cutting the silvery cord. Love, Carolyn

How can you not know the form of this poem. It is called awesome. Would you like a moon rock to go with your precious poem.

HI, Susan, this reminds me of a child born to two god of nature or perhaps two hippies. Do you remember an actress with Moon in her name? A sweet poem! LUv, Andrea
