The sky has been high for a long time
in hold of the moon’s emotional charge
and this receiver of sun’s holy light
glows like a woman who knows
she has been energized.

To look at the moon is to know truth
because the sky cannot hold up a lie
and there never will be a sign or a hint
of an imminent and unceremonious
ditch and dump of the entrenched.

Need pulses within moon’s deepest depths
to the beat of her love and passion
and she calls, calls, calls, to the sun
to join in her honest throw of night light  
on the other side of today.

To look at the moon as unto me
is to know of amazing grace
that turns the heartless and numb
into a woman who loves
but the sun, the sun, still burns love
in useless attempts to disengage
from what is meant to always be.

No man, woman, child, no artful guise,
has the right to deny the entrenched
but I do and you do and everyone does
unmindful of sun and moon up above!

Helen,
Wow. I am nearly speechless. This rings so true on many different levels. I really felt this deep in my heart. Thank You for sharing these words with me. I really enjoyed them.

Indeed WOW
