The Secret of the Moon

The Secret of the Moon

As the sleep descends you will see
the bright star shining above-
a six pointed star shimmering behind
a magnificent star-dusted tree.
That's the sign, you are in the temple.
Be aware of the floors and the walls.
They are the fire that does not scorch.
The spiral path goes up all the way,
till the senses drown;
leaving you neither up nor down,
in a sheer movement that leads to the crown.
Not a lonely ascension of the wilderness!
This is the way the saintly souls
have travelled all the ways, but never alone.
You too, my love will not be alone.
My spirit will accompany thee.
You will feel me right; you will feel me left.
The currents know how to lead
gently upward once you yield
to the momentum of the spirit that lives within.
Float gently on the rhythm of the breath,
light as a feather and free as the heart of the breeze.
Breathe in the stillness and the peace within;
that's the secret of opening the gate.
