moon song

Listen to the sounds

All bring something different

Some you resonate with more

Some make you smile

Some tense your body up

Some make you feel you’re flying

Some remind you of reality

Some burn fuel trying to get somewhere

Some sing the songs of life

Some sound an alarm

Some harmonise together

Some clash

Listen to the silence in-between

Grout bringing mosaic tiles together

A leaf blower, you tense up

The sound of beauty, harder to hear underneath so much noise

It’s good practice, you know

Eventually it stops

You hear the birds better

It starts again

But more attuned to the birds now, you hear them strongly still

Holding onto the vibrations of your heart

Expanding and retracting

The river, our life blood

Flowing through our veins and creating ripples

From upstream down to the ocean

Responding to the moon as you lay down at night

Hearing the sounds of those who are awake too

Sensing a moment of fleeting connection

Your eyes wide open, you smile.

a moon rising

Beautiful

In my soul

Deserving of love

A flower

In my heart, body and mind

Awe-some

Filled with the wonder of life

Held

By my own arms

Standing on my own feet

Reaching for the sky

Shedding my own skin

When it’s time to get bigger

Strong and unscared

A moon rising inside
