Moon Movements

9/9/09

My Scotch, Irish, German blood

rejoices in a gray day

where coolness brings ancient remembering

into brain cells firing synapse

as scent raises the hair

on back of neck, arms,

getting 'kundalini' rush of energy,

smile on face, thrilled heart,

pumping clenched fist into air,

hollering 'Yes!' into foggy mists,

feeling my ancestors behind the veil

standing with me as if

today was battle for freedom,

a great turning in history,

this seasonal shift, a 'rune'

that forebodes a decisive change

for which I must ready

gathering my resources for siege,

one I receive or deliver,

all the while holding countenance

of inner strength, peace, perseverance,

confident I will be victorious

by enduring any physical challenge

while deeply connected to Spirit,

the Guidance, that wizard soothsayers

utilized when foretelling wisdom stories

depicting moon movements and heroes.
