Sagittarius Full Moon

Sagittarius Full Moon

The many faces of the Moon
reflecting starlight in her many moods
entrance the sky.
My mortal eyes want to believe
adventures, mythologies, romantic rhymes .
Tell me, hoary elders,
rejuvenated for your fling
in sacred moonlight,
dancing from your ivied castles
to mystic mountain
legendary glades,
tell me why I should believe
in magic of codes and
spells and sacrifice.
Is the wisdom of the ages
so constrained?
My species may be blind to
true eternity,
but we mutate,
find and define
new ways to see.
Fixed belief is far too limiting
for me.
Dear Sister Moon, separate entity
from birth, entwined destiny
with Mother Earth,
patterns re-cycling reveal
what we regard to be real
is but reflection.
Face to face to face, fluid

to change.

Wind Song

Wind Song


Caught a’fall through cobwebbed memory,
balance calm within storm,
echoed enchantment.

Joined merriment of dancers,
glide of movement
choreographic poetry,
mindful
poignant whispering of song
wyrding motion,
a chance to beatifically play

where love is a symphony
from which breath expands
each to each,
in brief season.

In the wind
stories, blow, whirl,
wisp, purring gentle, insistent, strong,
going wide, long, dipping below.
A galaxy of swirling lights
blinks bright, dark, invisible for a slow
millennium or so;
only seen outlined in night minds
obstructed by veil, by shadow, by
"No, that can't be real."
Until softly swaying melody
caught still in some fantastic sirocco
casts about for local color,
adoring djinn bleating for succor.

The field dances
hungrily with wind, with wild.
In the eye of eternity, wise
as any child, as any wizard
myth could conceive,
This One, This Master of
enchantments (believe, my kin,
believe) takes fluid stand.
Takes true command.
Raises eyes, mind, arms
to conduct transcendent music.
Sky and ground converge
lightly, marry grace and supplication,
make merry conversation,
soothe wild beasts from
silent space with dervish charm.
The few picked to observe,
learn to carry on these tales,
loose from sobriety.
Enthralled by call of magic,
work a new reality.
Ride high on dragon scales,
spirits entranced.
