Red Resonant Moon/Planetary Dog Moon of Manifestation, Day 24

 

7 Muluc

Red Resonant Moon

 

There once was a Man

Who would blow up the Moon---

Detonate Her  out of the Sky

Why?

 

Unnaturally

The Rhythm of the Tides

The Movement of the Waters

Would cease---

Apparently

These Cycles take too muchTime

For this Man

 

Our Culture demands

Immediate Gratification---

The Instant Fix

A Negation of Life---Death---Rebirth---

Linear Time rules in no Time

Time out of Time with Nature

Earth out of Time---out of Touch---

Out of Tune with the Moon

 

There once was a Man

Who would blow up the Moon---

One wonders what composed

His Mother’s Milk!

Yellow Rhythmic Star/ Planetary Dog Moon of Manifestation, Day 23

 

6 Lamat 

 

Yellow Rhythmic Star 

 

I frequent Beauty

As my Duty and my Due---

 

As Honey

To the Bee---

 

Beauty be

But All to me.

Blue Overtone Hand/ Planetary Dog Moon of Manifestation, Day 22

 

5 Manik

 

Blue Overtone Hand

 

 How---why---and when indeed

Does Love transform to Need?

 

The giving Hand goes on the Take

The Heart grows dark and cold

 

Once open Arms and Eyes

Close to Possibility and Passion---

 

Suspicion suspends Belief

Trust steps out for a Smoke

 

Neither Relief nor Faith survive

The imminent Loss of Hope.

White Self-Existing World-Bridger/ Planetary Dog Moon of Manifestation, Day 21

                                                                                                                4 Cimi

 

White Self---Existing World---Bridger

 

Like Ice on winter Roses

Or frosted Dew on Grass---

My Heart Melts

 

Only the Stone

Remains in Place

Outside the Tomb

 

But like a Cloud

The Boulder floats away---

She is risen!

 

The Angel in your voice---

It’s Tone and Timbre

Start my Heartbeat---

 

A Resurrection of Affection---

Wordless Communion

Reunion---Celebration

 

A past Affair---

After a bitter Death---Life

Brought to present Time

 

In Forgiveness---

Remembrance

And Gratitude sublime.

Red Electric Serpent/ Planetary Dog Moon of Manifestation, Day 20

 3 Chicchan

 

Red Electric Serpent

 

In Solitude

I journey down

To meet Ereshkigal---

My Sister dark---

My Shadow

 

Seven times she

Strips my Flesh---

My Veils

 

Bone alone remains---

If I survive

My self will die---

 

And while I mourn

My Soul will be reborn.

Yellow Lunar Seed/ Planetary Dog Moon of Manifestation, Day 19

 

2 Kan

 

Yellow Lunar Seed

 

There is a Time of Year lies yawning---

Stretching the Space between Seasons

Days---Weeks of Promise when, depending on the Solstice

We stand between cold Dread and warm Anticipation---

 

There is a Time of Year that takes the plant Roots deep---

Makes its Moves from inner Signals

Cosmic Calls of ice-filled Lakes---

Frost---Cold---Wind---Snow and Rain

 The Skies of November resemble a Day in March

When Clouds give no Comfort or Promise of Warmth

 

Finally, winter loses Strength –

A Seed begins its brave invisible

 Ascent to early Suns too pale for warming---

Only Faith supports our Skin and Bones

Now chilled and blue with Longing

For spring, the winter’s Damage to atone

 

That Time of Year lay shivering

While we, like Children, short-sighted

And burning with Desire cannot wait

For howling, whistling Winds

To blow away the old and bring upon the New

The autumnal Days of early spring are rude---

They tease and taunt without Remorse

 

 That Time of Year too short to name until---

Azure fills a Sky of cotton Clouds---

Jonquil Petals open with the Violet

Green Grass quivers with the Flights of little Bees

Whose Legs are yellow Pollen laden---

Daffodil sits up with Hyacinth upon the Hill

The Moth awakes to fly on parchment Wing

The Seasons turn---Gaia smiles---naming Spring.

Blue Magnetic Night/ Planetary Dog Moon of Manifestation, Day 18

 

1 Akbal

 

Blue Magnetic Night

 

Sweet Sleep

Enfold me

Travel down

And hold me

To Thy Breast---

 

Long Night

Approach me

Overcome

And take me

Down to

Rest---

 

Tall Dreams

Entrance Me---

Free the Heart

To dance in me

Lest---

 

Dark Fears

Besiege me---

Swallow down

And seize

The very best

Of me.
