WEEKLY POEM FOR HUMANITY: FULL MOON

“The full moon shines

On a dark night,

Reflecting that

Which shines so bright.

The assumption

That the moon gives light

Is only

Your perspective of sight.

It is the sun that shines

And the moon reflects

So that you may see

The sun’s aspects.

And when there is a shadow

Projected on the moon,

The release of that shadow

Will come soon.

And in the same way,

When you allow yourself to shine

The world around you

Can be sublime.

And when you cover

Your shining light,

Perhaps what you experience

Is a form of fright

Because inside there is a knowing

Of what must be,

Of what must be witnessed,

Of what you must see.

There is the knowing

That you shine so bright.

So allow that

To be part of your sight.

Thank you.”
