What a
juicy prompt! I was thrilled when I saw the task set for us this week. Anyone with enough patience to scroll through my last few posts will get an indication of the kind of journey I'm on at the moment. Over the last couple of months I have gained a whole new respect for this person who is me. I wanted to reflect that sense of riding a crest of self-recognition, but also to transpose that into a wider context, that of a population of beings 'rising' to a new level of consciousness.
Rising
There’s a full moon rising
swollen, pulling the earth
towards her. We are all
lifted, we elevate -
desires illuminated
in lunar light.
In rising she reduces,
yet her light casts further.
Behind all she touches
shadows expand the
volume of our dreams.
Wrapped in a crystalline
filigree we are
precious too.

thanks so much for the previews, i feel so honoured to see these beauties emerge.

Leonie, it's been in the back of my mind to publish a collection. Perhaps I'll have to start working on it over winter!
