ethereal light–
your distance tonight
rides the back of Winter’s chill
yet in your fullness
is the womb’s promise–
deliverance of a beating pulse
why then this feeling?
this desolation and doom–
weighing heavily in the dark
as you rise in the heavens–
spread your nurturing warmth
to those whom you have given birth
swaddle them gently–
nurse them with your loving care
and as you lay them down to sleep
dispose of their wasted fears…

Chevvy that’s just so lovely! Our dearest Luna!
Very nice 🙂

I love moon lore! Remember, I am a sky girl!
When I was an undergrad I took several Women’s studies courses which led me to study the connection between the our dear luna and feminine energy. I loved that stuff!

Love it, moon as mother, esp last line. The full moon coming on the 20th is nicknamed the Strawberry Moon here in the USA. Strawberry season is upon us while you guys head into the dead of winter in SA. 🙂
