moon – Reaching Joy

Chance

Tell me what you want, tell me what you choose, tell me why my heart sings when I look at you. It’s true…I want you whole. But you lead me on. You want to laugh, too. Friends tell me not to hold you higher than the moon. Are these crumpled up memories playing meContinue reading “Chance”

Watching the Night

Have I ever gazed a sight like this? Third (fourth) floor? Window sill? Moon shining like a teardrop ready to fall from above? Well, no. It will stay in its place. All you must do is spread your wings and fly up there yourself, darling. You have nothing to fear. It is justContinue reading “Watching the Night”

Eclipse

One must read the signs carefully, my child– it is not every day the sun and moon touch lips and then part ways. Do no let one chase the other in vain– follow their footsteps into the sky and realize your own emptiness, your own infinity, your own basic goodness stretching out like aContinue reading “Eclipse”

Pen and Paper

When sunlightContinue reading “My Sister and I”

My friend once said, “The scariest thing is looking at a mirror in the dark.” She got me thinking– do I think that is scary? Do you? I glance down a narrow hallway, midnight light etching out the shadow of a moon on the back wall, and wonder why, so often, our reflections scare usContinue reading “Darkness”

Acceptance

When acceptance becomes the word I must cling to like a newborn to a mother why couldn’t mine have taught me sooner? Waters flow like nothing has changed yet Sun and Moon promise a new dawn will emerge if I let it– they let me feel because they have never felt themselves. ItContinue reading “Acceptance”

A New Day

The sun awaits me, patiently with tender lips until my head rises. Shades up, hair down and embrace the light on each wall and window, my own specks of gold. Sunlight, spell out my name and I’ll be there. Call out my name in the wind. Make love to the rain thatContinue reading “A New Day”
