HARVEST MOON : GIFTS OF LIFE
Earlier this summer the flowers were coming into bloom,
opening themselves up in utter abandon
strutting brilliant colors and intriguing textures
tempting with their fragrances.
Petals are fluttering in the breeze
in ecstatic expectancy of merging,
of getting fertilized,
of getting fertilized,
of joining of essences.
After the merging everything changed,
petals lost their vigor,wilted away,
energies and juices turned to flow inwards
and deeper to create new beginnings.
Now they ripen into shiny, fragrant fruits …
Metamorphosis…
and they entice and beckon again
with their colors and fragrances.
“Come hither, taste me!”seems the message
“ come, feed and feast on me!
Relieve kernels, seed and pits of their shell,
Relieve kernels, seed and pits of their shell,
this nourishing bounty is yours!
Free the essence of me
may we land on fertile ground again
to join energies in creating another cycle
to join energies in creating another cycle
of growing, merging and sharing.”
