Meditation on the New Moon

Image by Rachel B. Baxter (and dear daughter)

Monday, lunes,
moon-day, new day —
What will you do
on the day of the new moon,
the day of the moon?
What will you do
with that which is new?

This gift given to you?
This gift you open bit by bit
as the moon waxes in the sky
(or so it appears to our eyes) —

Monday, lunes,
moon-day, new day —
What will you do
on the day of the new moon?
