Bright Blessings
the moon
in her full glory
looks down upon the earth
this doleful eve
with tears
that fall
like stardust in the night
and land on my face
gently breaking the surface
penetrating the outer shell of my being
encompassing every cell
every atom
warm energy
travels gracefully
through my veins
loving
consecrating every drop of blood
making each breath sacred
healing latent wounds
as the weapons of the world
render me defenseless
I cry out for understanding
for hope
in a hopless world
and
I find sanctuary
in the light
of her heavenly embrace
* * *
Courtship
sometimes
the moon
sneaks in my window
at night
she climbs
into my bed
and fills me
wit her luminous spirit
waxing
and waning together
she whispers softly
into my ear
only to disappear quietly
into the dawn
leaving me
alone
with my dreams
and the assurance
of her return
