Today, July 22, St. Mary Magdalene’s Feast Day, I end the day with this poem, that is also a prayer for inner peace and luminosity. I wish you the deepest embrace that a soul could hold, and the loving closeness of a luminous kiss.

Your artist,

Tanya



Moonlight Prayer


The light that comes from within,

Can illuminate

The deepest, bluest, darkest,

Night.


Enveloped in an illusion,

She elevates her prayer,

A breath expanding across her flesh,

A sound of emergence in her exhale.


Blood-fire feeds the earth,

Taking root and nourished,

By a moment of presence.


Earthy light made of cells,

Of air,

Of the birth of particles that emanate close to an origin,

Reaching deeply,

And traveling through

The infinite opening of a moonlight,

Into some nascent cosmos.


She traveled as a soul,

Her body was of the Earth,

A vespertine memory,

Born luminous.
