Full moon
Wolf moon
Howling moon
Echoing
Resonating
Penetrating
Pulling and gathering and emptying
A wave that slides
Cutting through the ocean
Carrying emotions
Karma washing from the souls that bathe beneath
Emerging clean once again
Years in arriving it seems to me
Yet to the great unfathomable energy
Time is just a drop of rain
Coming too late
Too early
For we who wait looking at the sky
Wondering why
And never knowing
We
Who think in periods
Dots
Commas
When we should be measuring
Eons
Epochs
Eternity
Life spans hung to dry
Pegged carefully along our timelines
Birth
School
Marriage
Funerals
We think we have control
Over at least this moment as it passes by
But it is passing everyone
At the same speed
How can this outcome
Be yours
When it is theirs too?
Is theirs a lie
Yours the truth?
We own nothing
Steering with empty hands
As transient as the sand
Flying from this towel
As I shake it
*I always research moons – this one is an odd one – a lunar eclipse. I usually use Virginia Rosenbergs site to look at moons and astrology – her writing resonates – you can find her article about this moon here
I dont know why but this made me feel like it was being told from a were wolfs perspective. I could see them writing stuff down about the moon it put a powerful image in my head well done.
Hi Lily – that’s a nice way to think about it too – wolves are strongly connected to the moon too 🐺 🌓
I’ve felt a strong connection to the moon for many years. A co worker and I have been discussing the power of this particular moon. It’s a doosy! Control is such an illusion 😉
As it recedes the trouble is flowing out – having a big few days of it – will get back to writing soon at the moment treading water 🤪
(((HUGS)))
The different phases of the moon and the other various astronomical events involving the moon fascinate me. I believe it stems from a chaotic childhood that left me with the moon’s face in my window all those sleepless nights and thinking that face was the only friend I had.
