moonstone

‘if I could I would fetch you the moon a spoon …’

opalescent like a chakra’s rainbow
your lustrous promise kindled
a path to peace and stability
to the moon and the back of beyond
shining darkness
radiance emerging from shadows
archetypal togetherness forged from above

a pearlescent moonstone 
bestowed on our marriage
guided by an expanse of time and space
crowned with infinity
and transcendental esprit 
infused by mind body and soul

lunar crescents shone waned 
and waxed once again
for better worse richer poorer
in insanity and restoration
to love and to cherish ...

founded on divine intervention
heavenly bliss interspersed
by carnage and despair
blessed by the gift of recovery

it took what seemed like eternity
to understand that 
not moon spoon nor 
what wants to be written in stone
can be taken for granted

a moonstone
represents more than
stardust to become
or a fanciful pebble

carved by the Universe
love thoroughly vanquishes obstacles
and has inscribed miracles 
into our wonderful lives

Thank you Arthur. I am just getting back into the swings of writing after a difficult couple of years. Things are improving though. Still on a spiritual path, but the future looks bright ...
