showering upon me a familiar blanket of love
so close… family… kin
a wave and another and another
of gratitude and devotion
memories of how this moon has been
such a dear companion throughout life
for me. with me
familiarity
safety
surprise
so much dependability and so much mystery
lying here in the moon’s light
i feel the earth supporting my back
i breathe into the space between me and the moon
i feel my space — my self —
filling to touch her light
i feel the warmth between me and her
as my sense of self
she’s so close
how can she be so loving?
such radiance. . .
