First quarter moon
she’s a sliver of light,
a sickle of stardust,
a scythe in the night
a crescent so fertile
she sings to the Earth
let your seeds all awaken
your dreams give birth
For the moon changes
while we’re all sleepin’
so quietly nobody knows
in the dark of the night
when you can’t see her light
she’s turning through all our shadows
Around second quarter,
seeds rise from the ground
bees in the blossoms where
the honey is bound
there’s a hen sittin’ pretty
a rooster just crowed
daffodils poppin’ from
the bulbs that we sowed
For the moon changes
while we’re all sleepin’
so quietly nobody knows
in the dark of the night
when you can’t see her light
she’s turning through all our shadows
She’s coming on full as
the coyotes call
she rises up over the mountain
deep in the night
her quicksilver light
pours oe’r the land like a fountain
Fruit on the vine and
a bottle of wine
a song for the earth and her kin
then somewhere near dawn
with a sigh and a yawn
we lay as the night sky spins.
Third and fourth quarter
fall quiet in line
she’s rising now well after midnight
Roots reachin’ down
where the water is found
swellin’ the melons til they’re just right
After 28 days
the cycle is full
the moon spirals back to begin
the darkness gives way
to the light of the day
the nighttime recalls her old friend ~
