Dark Moon
“The dark knights of the soul is the purification of our longing”
~ Mathhew Fox
The New Moon pulls me in
deeper, deeper within myself
further into this space
this space that I so intricately cultivate
in which I curate the holy substances
that feed me,
that tease me,
that take my wrists and beckon me
into a more dynamic understanding
of this vessel, this heart, this mind
and how it weaves and meanders
through the constructs of time.
Oh new moon,
dark shadow in the sky
there is no escape, is there
from your inexorable influence
that you beam upon this Earthly plane?
And if, from trepidation, I try to run
I long to run no more
but rather bask in the torturous beauty
of Becoming.
