Winter's Full Moon (12/10/11)

Traveling Home
late last night,
the moon smiled at me.

It was large and amber colored,
taking my breath away.
It appeared as if it were sitting on the Earth.

Later, it was much higher and less electrifying.
I took in it's moon glow,
and walked into my house.

As I fell asleep, I began to think,
"This is the closest full moon to Winter Solstice"
Soon our longest night of the year will arrive.

I fell quietly to sleep,
for some reason I awoke around 6 am,
and was annoyed because I wanted to sleep in.

As I walked into the bathroom,
my shade was up, and low and behold,
there was that same electrifying moon as before.

I knew it was giving me a sign,
I fell back to sleep to awaken to sunshine,
and felt refreshed and renewed.

This Winter's Full Moon,
is a reminder to acknowledge how hard
we worked and survived in 2011.

It urges us to reflect and accept,
all the joys and pain that we have experienced,
and leave them in the past.

Be excited about the coming New Year,
and know that it is going to be more
joyful, prosperous and healthier.

Believe this with your heart and mind,
and feel this Winter's Full Moon energy,
take it deeply into your soul,

Remember to thank your higher power,
Smile at strangers that you meet,
and love your family and friends.

Have a joyous holiday season,
and keep this Moon's energy blanketed
deeply within, to find the peace we all need.
