Moon (phase 4)



Move slow, change your pace,
smoothly, calmly, into fourth place.
Differently, you sit still and quiet,
come out of your body, fly by it.
Be a bird, close to this moon,
haze, it will clear soon.
Open like a show to start,
the clouds step away, they part.
Better this phase knows your pain,
hazey, to see the moon thru the rain.
Total eclipse, where do you abide,
I need your touch, do not hide.
Reveal your guidence, as you circle my sky,
each night when you rain, you cry.
But don't shed a tear, don't fade away,
you are the ghost of my day.
