Here is a poem I wrote recently in celbration of the night there was a Solar Eclipse and a New Moon.<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/b><\/div>\n

Eclipse (Hands Folded in Prayer)<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It\u2019s mid-May! The breeze is thick<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

with humid scents of Eau de Parfum.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Today, we have a New Moon <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

combined with a Solar Eclipse. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

The fragrance drifts across the mountain\u00a0 <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Delicate, shimmering lavender pink flocks<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

fragile lace amongst the many specimens<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

near the edges of a\u00a0 sun washed meadow.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Tamukeyama\u00a0 stands in solitude <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

near the center of the outer corner.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

She glances towards\u00a0 <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

the Stone mountain, famous for a shrine <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

of a famous Japanese warrior.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u00a0There, in saturated sunlight,<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

bright yellow-green crescent –<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

wild ferns encircle her bare feet.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Her gown a shower of brilliant purple lace. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

The leaves turned purple in April.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Tamukeyama <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Asks you to set your intention <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

This is a wonderful opportunity<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Take your time!<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Hand write 10 wishes <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

closest to your heart<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Consider anything that passes <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

through your thoughts <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

What do you want?<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Your desires will be magnified.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\\what you say will be magnified.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Be wise.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Write each desire on a vellum sheet.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Close the book when the pages are complete.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Hide it carefully. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Be conscious, <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

The progressive season brings\u00a0 transition-<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

the colour of the leaves from purple <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

towards burgundy and maroon. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Tamukyama\u00a0\u00a0 comes into her highest form <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

She starts to sport <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

amazingly bright red leaves.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Acer Palmatum dissectum forma astropurpureum <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\u201chands folded in prayer upon the mountain.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

What seemed impossible before is just a thought away. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Believe!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
