| The Moon |
| The waiting became all consuming. It was a cleansing of sorts. A time when ghosts of the past were laid to rest one by one. I tried hard to empty out the negativity. For you see I would let nothing get in the way of Our happiness. And I was happy. Happy just to have found this kind of Love with such an Amazing Man. Happy just to know He was out there and We would be together soon. Once things were in order, there was nothing to do but wait till Halloween. Once again I would be in his arms. And this time for good. Many nights I spent alone with The Moon. By candle light I would poor myself a glass of wine. As the apartment filled with the sent of rose incense, I would take my place in the Moon Light streaming into the livingroom. I would position myself just right so as to gaze at the Moon through the window. The Moon became my companion during the 2 and 1/2 months between the time Frog and I met and were reunited. It gave me unmeasurable comfort. For me, it became a symbol of Fate and Love. I counted the days more on its ripening and fading than I did on the calendar. It was if it's cycles were drawing Us near. The night before Halloween was the last night not spent in Frog's arms. The Moon was almost Full. For me it was a symbol of My healing of past wounds, coming to completion. It also signaled the end of the waiting. A time to harvest the Dream of Love and make it real. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I was younger I would pray to the Moon. I would ask for Love and Happiness. I knew the Moon could control such things. So I would wonder why it was refusing my request. Now I understand. The Moon is Time. The Time had to right. The Universe does provide, if you wait for it... |
