Angels of Moonlight

Phoung-chan, I had to tell you that I felt exactly the same all day today. I was just thinking about how peaceful and rejuvenating the day had been. The family was gone shopping all day long, so I stayed home to wash dishes which didn't take long. After that I took a shower and finished reading this awesome book with a semi-happy ending. Then I got up and practiced my horn. Then I lit some candels and incense, turned on some music and danced and sang at the top of my lungs in the front yard. The neighbors were thoroughly freaked out. I even saw people driving by, slow down so they could look and point...

I am filled with a sense of peace that has freed me from the chains that have regularly bound me for the last few months. I feel as though I could fly. I haven't felt this peace and energy for a long time, probably not since I saw you last summer. It feels like being wrapped up in a blanket of serenity. In this cocoon, I am sheltered from the harsh words and actions of those around me. It protects me for a time so that my wounds might heal completely. Then this blanket of tranquility dissolves into my skin. It makes me glow full and silver like the moon. The serenity enters my body and flows through my veins, it flows slowly at first, then my heart begins to make it pump faster and suddenly, that tranquility is transformed into energy. I use this newfound strength to break the chains that bind me to the ground where the mud of stress, insomnia, pain, and bitter words that soil my hair and skin take the light from my green eyes and create a squalid grey in the place of the lost passionate fire I once possessed. I fly high into the clouds, once again refreshed and pure. I doze lazily, once again gaining new vitality. The golden rays of the sun disappear beneath several dark clouds which dissolve into rain. I return to the purified earth, awash with the enchanted shower. There I dance barefoot to the inner music of my soul and dive to the depths of the ocean created by the downpour. My hair dances around my torso like a chesnut haze. The moons rays penetrate the waves from above and call to me. I once again sprout wings and burst through the surface into the night sky. Surrounded by stars, I stand on the silver surface of the moon. The light flows from her to me and fills me once again with life and I find myself sitting here, relating my journey to you who has experienced the same today. I wonder if there is a reason for this feeling that we share, or if it is that this peace has chosen us to be the angels of moonlight, friends in life, cousins on earth, sisters in our souls, hearts and minds...

I must return to the outdoors where I can once again gaze upon the moon now that the rain clouds have cleared. The fresh scent of spring rain still graces the green grass growing from the earth. I will lay upon it and float into the sky and set upon the moons surface and once again absorb the light and life that she has to offer. I can only hope that I will meet you there...
