IN THE SILENCE WHERE TRUTH GROWS
“The Wolf Moon cometh; it cometh for us all
and stitched between the darkness let us unpick
the seams that darkness sewed
so that the light can once again enthral.” - AP

MOON SHADOW – CAT STEVENS
The Wolf Moon came
embraced the Earth
with icy talons painted
patterns on the water
the Universe breathed
a heavy forlorn sigh
a whisper that penetrated
deeply; piercing skin
and blood red drops
dripped; saturated
the Moon was bathed
in golden glowing embers
fire without a warmth
frosted air that brought
the silence where truth grows
the gaps filled up with honesty
smooth amid the rough-hewn edges
of rocks and craters
of Yin and Yang; stitched between the seams
I lay there in the Winter night
afraid to move and feeling small
the Winter Sun crossed over then
with ease; with grace
with soft intent it brought to mind long lost footfalls
the memories of the ancient warriors
the imprint of their scattered makeshift swords
the carvings on their grey stone walls
that linger now; not faded; where the sun can't reach
borne out of scholarly desires to teach
but if they never see the light
and if we do not seek or fight
then they will always be in darkness
and we will always be in ignorance
and nothing will ever rise but fall
into a dark abyss; a well of fruitlessness
bottomless; a void devoid of sound and light
where even echoes cease to fight
falling ,,,
falling ...
the Wolves are calling
time is of the essence
time is right
there is still time
time enough to set things right.

I stayed up all night to get some pictures of the Wolf Blood Lunar Eclipse and my efforts were pitifully mediocre, so I have done a composite of one of them with my frozen pond. Other “moon” is my largest crystal ball that I hoped would create enough movement to prevent the pond from freezing over, but found that it had stuck fast … no wind, you see and temperatures plummeted to minus 2 … very unusual for where I live and the moon was the brightest moon I've ever seen! The pond was still frozen this afternoon, so I switched on the water fountain, expecting it to be frozen also, but it happily pumped water from beneath the ice to begin melting the top of it and releasing the plants trapped underneath. That small gap between water and ice is like that space between sleeping and waking … where we are invisible, invincible and impervious to everything except this small place where dreams are woven and time is endless; seamless and all things are possible.
