This marks a place on my journey |
The Pregnant full moon Struggles to get her belly over The thick copse of evergreens. Cedars, pines, spruce, and hemlock Protect the Celestial Secrets buried Deep in leaf mold hidden Among the clumps of thick brush. A place known well and frequented by Little animals who celebrate loudly When at last with a great sigh She enters our valley with grace. Shadows are pierced By sharp lances of silvery light. She is most radiant against the Horizon Echoing sunrise from a place of subtlety. A place of wispy veils And silver lit Secrets Waiting for just enough light Of just the right color To paint magic pictures On Stones. plants and hearts. Her pictures are muted But bold and bright Enough to last forever! She is unable to over power the sun, Giving us instead, Large greedy gulps Of her unique essence, She feeds us with a an infusion of energy. The Moon drags her satin sheets Across my naked skin hiding My ignorance as I wander Fitfully through the darkness below. She walks beside a clump of moon flowers Dancing in celebration of her arrival. Full white petticoats shimmer In a cool cloud of honey-sweet, essence. Watching them intently She sweeps one by one Off their feet to clutch Tightly to her breast. “Moon scent lingers in my nostrils as I breathe. Unfortunately I know that when the sun shines Her flowers will wilt. sag, and die. Goodbye my beautiful friends. ” In a magic moonlight dance She shimmers across the face of the earth. Beneath her feet the stones Inhale her energy of subtle colors. They store it, mimic it then Radiate it to be seen by all Who share the experience Of A Moonstone resting In the palm of their hand. Moon light gracefully dances Over to brother Labradorite "dark-of-the-moon stone (TM)" More spectacular perhaps than his Rainbow White sister. Both capture the hearts Of anyone who touches one. It is an experience never To be forgotten. The Moon smiles one last time Her work is finished She waits patiently for another night “There will be more Blossoms And many more Stones” |
