How am I the moon?
a poem ~ Shari Daniels
The moon is ever changing
emptying and filling
unlearning the old
to learn new
Always present
but sometimes needs
to disappear
to become new again
Silent
it watches
observing
when ready to be seen
you notice it
speaking volumes
Living in seasons
aligning with human energies
it whispers
the natural time
for starting things, maturing
reaping
rest
renewal
and planning
This first full moon
after spring equinox
reminds us
to rest, stop, reflect.
And begin again
with new eyes.

That is just how I feel right now as I am almost to the Spring Break line. We all need that time- great images!

You have captured the characteristics of the moon very poetically. I have always found it so intriguing that sometimes you can see the moon in the daytime (“when ready to be seen/you notice it”) and that it doesn’t seem to follow any plan as it moves around the sky.
