A Quiet Moon

Listening to self
     Important
Listening to the Higher Self
     As Important
Taking care of self
     Of utmost importance

This watery full moon was all about
     Self
     My Self
Taking care of me

My body said, sleep
     I slept, rested

My mind said, Be Still
     I was quiet, inside
I did not host a full moon gathering
My body and mind, said no.
     I sat, alone

A little fire, a little water
A crescent of crystals
Outside under a quiet night sky
One of my feral cats hanging by

I didn't burn words
I didn't write any
     I spoke a few to say, Thank you
I accept all I have asked for
     Thank you

Healing Listening Reflecting
I am whole unto myself
All I am is happening now
Now, it is my time to manifest
All of what I am

Too long I have sat in repose
     Comfort
     Complacency
I have almost everything I want
Yet still
I am not done

My body
My words
My family
All my family

ACTION!
The next half of my life is now!

Balance

This world
I lie in wait for the next Coming
What is Coming?
Where is my stance?
I often say, Woman
Know your strength
And where does Man reside?
Where is Man's strength?
How do we balance one with another
When balance is hard-won?

Everything this planet offers
Is a lesson in Balance
Balance does not always mean peace

Caressed by the wind
And the spirits therin
They walk around me
Feeling my emotion
Not sorrow
Not pain
Not happiness
Nor remorse
Only this,
That I do not know.

To what are we in this
Our existence?
How do we connect
Soul to spirit
To body
To mind
To overcome this
This fear in life?

This land has mourned enough
This land has cried
Her tears of blood, sweat and toil
Who will hear her needs?
Who will pick up the spade
And make her a home?

My message is balance
How do we live in a world of balance?
