Half the Waning Moon
The night air filled me
As I looked up to see the half-eaten moon
Resting so still against the starry sky
She was not mourning her wounds
Or grappling for parts of herself not there
Instead, she sat at peace with her journey
Trusting that even though the night keeps eating away at her,
And her body dissolves and disappears until she is no more
Soon enough she will be reborn
And become whole again.
In the morning,
She smiled in a gentle blue heaven
Tinted in Beltane’s light
I drew her face into my body
And she whispered:
‘Are you ready to let go and then start all over again?’
Everything in me shouted ‘YES!’

This fills me with such peace and beauty, thank you. I love the words you used, especially about being at peace with the journey, not mourning our wounds. It made me think, made me relax a little. Maybe life is ok the way it is. Maybe I don’t need to control it 🙂
