Haiku Collection: Drawing Down the Moon
by B. T. Newberg
Age Group: Adult
A lonely raindrop
Soft like a knock at the door
Calls me to look up
She is the sky-moon
And the watery eye-moon
Reflecting in me
Body to body
A shaft of adoration
Touches moon to moon
Her cheeks flush the clouds
Her bosom heaves the tides
Waxing in passion
She smells like wet earth
And tastes like the sap of trees
Wet as mist Her touch
Sublime in beauty
Supreme in glory, She says
"Do not bow to Me"
Though pock-marked and scarred
Somehow I'm found Her worthy
"I am yours, " She says
Like a darkened cave
She opens and urges me
To go inside Her
How can it be true?
Even in human smallness
I am the Goddess
This whole Earth is She
And this body, and this life
Right here we are One
Her body is mine
My body Hers, and this Earth...
God intertwining
She is Creation
Apart from Her is nothing
From Her womb flows all
The full moon peaked
Radiant with afterglow
Soft wanes Her motion
I feel Her tremble
As a lonely raindrop runs
Trembling down Her cheek
I hear in the wind
And see in the burdened clouds
God also suffers
One are we in joy
And also in suffering
For love of this world
Pain and suffering
Come into the world alike
With the joy of love
How long must we hurt?
"As long as you live, " She says
"But I will hold you"
Under a blanket
Of clouds, dream-like warm I fade
Overcome by sleep
Author's Notes: copyright 2004
As a Naturalistic Pagan, I believe in evidence. There is no evidence that deities and magic are "real" in the most literal sense, but they may yet be moving and powerful. These poems are a tribute to the inspiration of Pagan ways.
For more information on naturalism, see HumanisticPaganism.com.
