Twilight drifts to a close. \u00a0The wind chills and the world is quieter.<\/p>\n
Darkness is closing in.<\/p>\n
My dear, familiar friend, your embrace is what I long for even when I have to take it in through my fear.<\/p>\n
But tonight you are but the beginning. \u00a0You are the opening act, the appetizer, the foreplay. \u00a0Do you wait for her as eagerly as I do?<\/p>\n
Is your darkness a little deeper tonight? \u00a0Have you set the stage, just for her? \u00a0Are you pulling the stars a little closer so that she will not be alone? \u00a0Or so we will all see that she is the most glorious of the night sky’s lights?<\/p>\n
O beautiful night, come, come quickly! \u00a0Come rushing in with wings of darkness stretched wide over the earth! \u00a0Over me! \u00a0Over us all!!<\/p>\n
Come now!<\/p>\n
Spread yourself wide and receive her! \u00a0Cast away the last of the day. \u00a0It’s fading, let if fade. \u00a0Let it die. \u00a0Let your full blue-black beauty stretch deep into space and so be done with the direct light of sun.<\/p>\n
The mirror is soon to rise.<\/p>\n
The moon comes.<\/p>\n
And she will bring us the silver glory that will reveal all that the bright sun disguises.<\/p>\n
Do I see her? \u00a0Now? \u00a0Is that a glint of her winking above the horizon? \u00a0Does her light slip through the trees like a lover’s nimble fingers?<\/p>\n
I stretch out my hand. \u00a0Her light touches me and I know she is here. \u00a0The moon has risen.<\/p>\n
Lady, let me stand here beneath you. \u00a0Let me bask in your soft, loving light. \u00a0Lady, you are beautiful and I am blessed.<\/p>\n
Reveal the Mysteries, open my spirit, show the way, as you will, great Goddess.<\/p>\n
No matter what, I will turn my face towards yours and bask in your pale light.<\/p>\n
Hail, the full moon!<\/p>\n
