Stream Crossed Moon
New Moon June 6, 2024
When it comes is the right time
It is waiting in the current
Sound its signature presence
A music from young childhood, first taste of bread
Each black berry outlined in green light
You the forcefield embrace channeling life
I stood before you uncertain & grew
Wavering rings around the visible band
You tended the center where love knows itself
As a polyphonous abundant choral us
One river cleaving through one mountain
Each time I wake up
This sparrow melisma is here
Lay in the barrow boat with my golden nothing
If you wish to find me, listen
Imagine a dark form in flight
Aspirate simply & let air carry you inward
It reflects you at the moment you look
Eyes earth heart water
Hieroglyph of animal thirst
Where spring is blocked, sit awhile & listen
In this company of soaring cloud
Now is never alone
