Shivering Moon

Shivering Moon

New Moon  November 4, 2021

 

 

Love is an animal

that rises in the night unafraid

& seeks the visceral core

prior to the segregation of things

into bounded mind & body

 

Love shivers in the open

awe of impossible being

merged with shadow

& intimate with rainbow light

fiercely stretching imagination

 

Love is the wild sky

deep cold potential

casting spider silk aloft

joy bonding palette edges

autumn changes all: breath

horizon, eye, heart

 

Love knows truth

power by shaking

knows shiver

by stillness
