Unknown Futures

Blue moon
pregnant with portent,
mysterious in the late summer sky,
giving birth to unknown futures
and untold changes,

You are my hope and my promise tonight.

Thank you
for offering illumation
through the darkness
of my uncertain thoughts
and
light
on the path
to brighter tomorrows.


Beloved Blue Moon,
I know we won't see you for a while
So
I'd like to sign that 3 year contract with you now.

You know...
The one that offers
grace and gratitude,
solace and strength,
joy and fortitude.

The one that allows one
to embrace
Belief
in
one's self.

The one with 
the ability and agility
to do
whatever needs to be done.

When you appear again
we can re-negotiate our agreement,
but I suspect
that I will simply take
my soul in hand
and sign on the dotted line
while giving gracious thanks
for your
glorious return.

Blue moon
pregnant with portent,
mysterious in the late summer sky,
giving birth to unknown futures
and untold changes,

You are my hope and my promise tonight.

Out of Nowhere

Sometimes
the missing of you is the
sum of what I have left
Even after all this time
Even when silence
has been your watchword
for what feels like eons.

It comes at the strangest times
This longing for you
This ache in the emptiness
of where you used to be

And logically
I know that it is better this way
But somehow
My heart hasn't yet caught up
with my head
And I'm left breathless
from the sudden
overwhelming thump
of the wave of missing you
that comes,
inappropriately,
painfully,
unbidden,
out of nowhere.
