New Moon

New Moon

You carried me over the threshold

Wild tides rising

As past fear gone unconscious

Floods the landscape

Solid land disappearing

Ancestral memories crowd me

Labouring breath

You are here

Just you and I

Wild being

Only partly domesticated

I sense both the wisdom and fear in your eyes

We will ride this transformation together

My ideas of love are changing

As in the early morning

On the brink of dawn

Awaiting Venus and Mercury rising

Memories of the times you held my hand

Flood my being

Bathing it in love

As I imagine you and I dancing

Seeing each other

Deeply

As if for the very first time

Hope and new promise returning

Harsh memories of old pain receding

As through this

The most bitter-sweet redemption

My aching soul

Is restored to peace
