New Moon New Year
In reflective stillness;
monotonous babel muted -
bedevilled
by frenzied watery panes,
catapulted crosswise—
soothing chaos
lashing,
drenching,
immersed in the power,
absorbed in thought.
Gazing forward,
contemplating
contradictions:
creation,
destruction—
insightful awakening,
changes to come.
Her sweeping hand,
gusting through me,
opening and freeing,
bearing me,
naked,
to the cosmos,
to see the light
of deepest dark.
