I have felt her fiery presence stirring within my being all
week...
Insomnia cradles my thoughts as I rise in the dark hours to write in my
journal. What is released from the depths of me, is a burning, a longing to
feel ignited by my passion and calling.
Undefined emotions grasp at my breath,
but I breathe it all out anyway. This super moon holds our fire as we bring our
intentions to newness, to find our beginnings as we let what does not belong to
us, burn away.
by Maureen Kwiat Meshenberg
I hold the red glow,
the eclipse of the-
September moon,
into the depths of my soul-
where I go to embrace,
your crimson face.
sky scalloped with,
early dawning clouds-
glints of stars,
gaze towards the east-
waiting for the sun to rise,
against the September sky-
red as the blood,
that flows through my humanness-
red for fire,
red for desire,
fire to burn my intentions-
so high,
the smoke circles around-
the red moon surrendering,
to dark covering light,
the shadow of my turning,
the ashes of my returning-
all that burns within me,
turns to the sweet-
calm of light,
as I capture,
the essence of-
the red darkness,
of your tender settling-
across my Autumn sky.
