Unconditional Love – New Moon (POEM)

The new moon is dawning — evoking a new love,

as the angels look down from their heavens above.

It is a time for renewal — a time to grow,

a time to sow seeds — and a time to glow.

Give up all past memories — of failure and scorn,

reap the harvest of plenty — and enjoy the corn,

as the “lady of the night” — reveals her skin,

and her hidden blessings that harbour within.

She is a stellar attraction — in a world of pain, 

beaming down her grace — of infinite fame,

reflecting the love of her Lord — the mighty Sun,

this “heavenly babe” — is kind to everyone.

Non-discriminate and cool — she traces a line,

around tolerant Mother Earth — a damsel so divine.

These two lovely ladies — nurture our sorry course,

through the trials and tribulations — of a soul divorced…

From the truth of spirit — and the world of divinity,

as we foolishly flounder — in lives of depravity.

Wasting so many chances — on a reckless chase,

to find joy and permanence — in a temporal place.

Never ceasing their love — they shine on and on,

bathing us constantly — in their paternal bond,

refusing to give up on us — despite our protest, 

like mischievous children — we keep failing the test.

Father Sun, Mother Earth and divine Goddess Moon, 

O’ how fortunate we are to have such a boon, 

that you love us unconditionally — despite our wicked ways,

And for this I am so grateful — and have nothing more to say.
