Celestial Benediction

This was posted on facebook today and thought it was beautiful so I decided to share b/c y'all know that i have a "thing" for sun, moon and stars:

Celestial Benediction

Tonight New Moon will kiss the Sun, behind a veil of starlight
Solar heart and lunar soul.... uniting in the dance
Reveries of ageless chimes electrify the darkness
As lovers’ cosmic sprinkling seeds the earth.

Born of this union, a dimly blooming crescent
Her beauty draws our evening glance and silhouettes appear
This waxing time, when souls are stirred to look beyond
To hope for more, dream of more....become more.

And as the eager birth appears, Full Moon lights the sky
Heralding incarnations, new vibrations
All that was to be now is .....the secret comes alive
To bless this humble earth with faithful promise.

Majestically they shine on distant shores now
Sweet Bella Luna, draped in the luster of her lover Sun
Creator's luminescent gift to creatures of the night
And those of us who chance to dream.

Alas, the moon begins to wane, and soon,
A Sleepy Crescent rocks the cradle of the midnight sky
Going home and leaving us to wonder
When, oh when, will she restore her joyous benediction?
