Alabaster Moon

Alabaster moon with purple tendrils of wispy clouds
Dancing, running, swirling across Your face

Pearlescent moon with purple tendrils of wispy clouds 
Dancing, running, swirling across Your face

Iridescent, phosphorescent moon with purple tendrils of wispy clouds dancing, running, swirling across Your face.

Why do you hide in the arms of the mighty sequoia 
or the wise oak 
or the flowing willow 
or the eternal mountains?

Why do you hide your beauty, your wisdom, your alchemy,
in their protective embrace?

Maybe...... it’s because the Moon Shine would be too much intoxication 
for us to take in at one time.

Maybe that’s why you come to us in cycles 
over and over saying, 

“Are you ready for me now?”
