Who Is
\nSpeaking This Hymn of Woven Moon Light?<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

A Poem of Desire<\/font><\/p>\n

by<\/font><\/p>\n

Joseph Anthony<\/font><\/p>\n

Dear
\nWonder Child Blog Readers,<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

When I
\nfirst wrote a draft for this poem a couple years ago, I thought it was my soul
\nspeaking to the Divine coming in the form of a Moon Goddess.  After revising it though I realize I am no
\nlonger sure if it is my soul addressing the Divine or the soul of the Divine
\naddressing me.<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

What do
\nyou think? <\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

From
\nbehind a veil of shadow and drifting darkness you appear, <\/o:p><\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

dressed
\nin robes of luminous white.<\/o:p><\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

The dark
\nwaters of my soul<\/o:p><\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

carries pieces
\nof my broken heart into your lap.<\/o:p><\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

You gather
\nthem in your skirts, move silently to the river’s edge <\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

and spill them in.  And where once there lived fires of grieving <\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

and mountains of suffering,<\/o:p><\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

now the
\nmountains turn into wild horses, shimmering towards the horizon as <\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

an unfolding
\nscroll of revelations and new testaments; and the fires become   <\/o:p><\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

flocks of
\nangels swirling in song.<\/o:p><\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

Every
\nnight you whisper: I ache to hear your every word, and when you finally <\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

break into
\nwhatever it is you long to be, you will see me moving <\/o:p><\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

towards you
\nlike wild horses and a flock of angels, and I will lift you up <\/o:p><\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

into
\nmyself and hold you as the sky holds the moon,<\/o:p><\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

and we
\nwill dream as one as the dawn slowly bathes us <\/o:p><\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

in
\ndazzling light.<\/o:p><\/font><\/i><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/i><\/p>\n
