Anna's Poetry

Total Eclipse of the Moon

There in the dance of the flames

in the fire

in the field

our eyes followed 

the total eclipse of the full moon

we surrendered

all our fears

we watched as the flames

eagerly burnt them

we watched

as the moon coloured herself in red

then darkened

in the darkness we emptied

with passion

all the limitations of our past

into the fire

the Milky Way ablaze with stars

acknowledged our sincerity

we paused breathless 

as the light of the moon 

slowly erased her own darkness

the passage

of her luminosity

effortlessly she dimmed

the blazing light of the stars

her new light now radiant - open

full of promise - full of power

her rhythmic dance

from light to dark - to light 

complete

we became 

children of the moon in her fullness

women of the night sky

wise - pure - innocent and playful

vulnerable and strong

fearless

in the mind of God

we became Love

born to create

from our greatness

in the field 

the mystery of the eclipse

of the full moon

unveiled over five hours

time held in her hands

the web 

of a new world
