The Lotus, Dragonfly and Lady Moon

Lady Moon shines her Light,
Dragonfly dances in the Dark.
The Lotus grows Tall and Strong,
To sing a Fragrant Song.

On The First Day of The Rooster New Year

Mother Sea beckons

on the early morning

of the First Day of the Rooster New Year.

Leaving behind celebrating humans

I answered her urgent call.

Just me,

the Wind,

the Waves,

the Sky,

the Trees,

the Rocks,

and Concrete.

I greet Mother Sea;

my first visit of the year.

Heart sigh...

"At last! Someone hears me!

Someone understands me!"

And Heart pours.

She releases and empties ancient stories,

All....

Mother Sea listens

Patiently,

Non judgmentally

Completely.

She takes them in

All...

Washes them away,

All...

And then, I whisper back,

the prayers of the Ho'oponopono people,

"I'm Sorry,

Please Forgive Me,

I Love You,

Thank You"

over and over to the crushing waves;

requesting Mother Sea,

to take my prayers to all corners of Mother Earth.

It is Done.

It is Complete.

On the First Day of the Rooster New Year,

I take a First Breath.
