Last night the Earth slid
behind the moon’s shadow
as if disappearing might
offer a sign
That something lay hidden
beyond the horizon
celestial bodies
inspire and align
Looking toward heaven
a silent prayer uttered
words drifting lay on the
fertile wet ground
May all beings thrive in
the world thus created
all hearts be nurtured
our planet surround
Precious lives teeter
a cliff edge serrated
carefully stepping
together we’re bound
A ship on the ocean
the liminal crossing
a new world awaits as
our hearts come unwound ~
