To The Moon

It is the nighttime when I get sentimental

when I spin waltzing with gratitude for my son,

for my life.

I've long had it in my mind to make this very necklace  

but things take longer with my son,

with this season of life we are in.

It is night when I get to snuggle with Joseph in the big chair

reading something good

and dozing off early.

It is night when I fall apart with worry about this world

or pull myself together to meet the challenge of another day as a sensing soul living here.

To be brave for Orion

to protect and guide him well.

From the back windows of this cottage we've been afforded a wonderful view of the full moon

and sometimes if the weather is warm enough I like to sit 

on the mudroom stoop

and let it bathe the familiar greenery

in magic

and mystery.

It is night when all the voices with all the reasons subside

to whispering

and the groundless chasm is almost a comfort:

if the world were always light we might all go batshit

without the cool rest

night proffers.

Here's to the dim

and the spinning stars,

here's to the Orion constellation returning triumphant

for his winter tour

To the Moon

and her quiet healing

done nightly

for free.

This Moon Magic Spell necklace will be in the shop this evening

along with two pairs of Hydrangea earrings

one doubled with ruffled and wee as they come

the other slightly larger and just as beautiful.

Have a wonderful weekend, dear friends.

xoxox,

Sunny
