Under the Eclipsed Moon

Under the eclipsed Moon,
may the waters rise
and carry away
what we no longer need.

Mercury flashes—
a crystalline moment
illuminating the hidden structure
beneath the dream.

Between two shores,
we cross a narrow passage,
releasing old divisions
and meeting one another
with open hearts.

The unseen draws near—
the quiet spirits of the earth,
the subtle wisdom moving
beneath ordinary life.

With Pisces,
we soften, forgive,
and let the waters clear.

With Virgo,
we gather what remains,
prepare the ground,
and give the dream form.

May what is sacred
enter the everyday.

May we rebuild with care
what the soul
is now ready to hold.
