Today is Lammas Eve, the cross-quarter day between the solstice and equinox. It's also a new month and a full moon, one of two in August. It feels like an auspicious time, so here is a new moon poem:
Her face is full and round and shining.
Mama Moon calls to me –
Come! Now is the time!
Follow the path of light on the water.
Rise with me.
She has gone to bathe in the Ghost River.
Mama Moon calls to me –
Come! Now is the time!
Dissolve into the dark night.
Swim with me.
She wears a crescent crown, tilted one way or the other.
Mama Moon calls to me –
Come! Now is the time!
Don’t I show you what change is?
Don’t hold back.
