Moon Prayer

Awake at 3am,
the full moon is a spotlight,
me the deer,
frozen
in that column of light.

Alone, in my bed,
my troubled dreaming
ceases
and I look
towards the deep space
around the white orb
and find
that we are all
waiting together
for a new day,
when peace calms our hears
and people share their talents
to cure the earth
so all can breathe
a long sigh
of relief.

May the moon
illuminate our souls
and encourage us
to look within
and find the heart
that connects us all
under the great white light.

May we come to feel
the connection,
the one pulse which
unites all living beings
and creates an ever widening
circle of understanding.

As the moon
reflects the sun's rays
so can your heart shine light
for those
who are only now awakening
to the power we can learn from
the eternal communion
of sun and moon.


with love and summer dreams,
susie
