The Rising of the Moon Maiden
Moon Maiden coyly veils
Her face in the dark
Mask of a star filled night.
–
I push my toes deeper into
Star lit beach and look
Out at the vastness of
Ocean’s rising waters.
–
I push myself deeper into
Star-filled body of mine
Looking out at the vastness
Of emotions that seek me out.
–
I stand within the space of
Eternity and the promise of
Moon Maiden’s quickening kiss.
–
She reaches out with delicate finger
Of moonbeam filling me with
Starlight and the exuberance of life.
–
The waters of healing surround
Lifting me gently from my
Place of digging deeply into
The changing sands of time.
–
Maiden Moon lifts her veil
Of darkness and fills me with the
Waxing tides of healing Light.
–
Her eye is bright
As her body undulates
In a sea of starry expanse.
–
She rises high overhead and
Light from her hand spills
Down like droplets of soft rain.
–
Stars sparkle in the velvet of her
Night cloak and darkness beckons
To be held in her embrace.
–
All of earth moves in resonance with
The rise and fall of her breath and
The great waters are quickened in
Her womb of fullness.
–
I sit in the silence of moonlit night
And I weep at the profound beauty
Of Luna’s nightly rising.
–
Salty water flows gently
Over glistening white sand.
In this moment of moonlight’s grace,
She and I are as one
