A Prayer to the New Moon

moon water
my cup not empty, but new
awaits
the tiptoe night
to skim my shores with a whisper

my eyes close, breathless
wisdom of stillness
speaks to my heart
with love
what I already know

gently, constraints
fall away, off guard
slide softly, released
like ribbons
to drift with the darkening sky

fill my cup anew
with light, with love, to drink
the moon water
of dreams

this line was outstanding:

"my cup not empty, but new"

...you tied it in so well to an excellent ending...a good, slow read (the kind you savor)

Stevenr took my first lines...

but when I read it again, I find I like these...

gently, constraints
fall away, off guard
slide softly, released
like ribbons
to drift with the darkening sky

fill my cup anew
with light, with love, to drink
the moon water
of dreams

Thank you! It is so good to read you again! It's been a long, long time.
