About the Poem
An online acquaintance of mine recently passed away. We were AOL chatroom hosts in a forum called the HUB, in a room called Urban Legends. One of the chats we hosted was a poetry chat called Urban Legends'Coffee House. It was a two hr block of guests' original poetry. When he passed away we had a special Coffee House in his honor, and this is the poem I composed in honor of Odain.
Soaring Home |
| by Veronica Ann Cech |
| The poet stands in a stream of fluid moonlight Looking skyward, looking home The poet's stance is purposeful Gleaning the meaning of the moon beams He sees the stars dancing their ageless dance He longs to dance among them He feels the comet's breeze Brush past his face, and dreams of its wild ride The Loving Being of The Universe hears his dreams And reaches out to take him home The poet stands among celestial celebrations And whispers to us . . . I am home. |

Thank you so much for this beautiful tribute. We should all be so honored to have such dear friends.

gads, I am sobbing, somewhat bewildered, and deeply affected;the power of a simple word or phrase to touch, trigger instantly and intensely.I think I shall keep these words close, in them I find a strange and wonderful comfort. A gratitude in the sharing.
