I am one who sits with you
under the mystery of stars,
whether by day or night,
always present, visible or in-,
long fascinated by the universe
that both creates and holds us.
You, too, comprise part of
the greater One, the Is,
and we often rise and dance
together, knowingly or un-,
even on this, the year’s
longest night, under a waxing
gibbous moon that will set
just before sunrise.
And when you breathe into
mystery—in awe, in grief,
in joy—you extend the cosmic
hand of divine love back into
creation, on a single breath,
right back to me.


Simply beautiful. Thank you for extending your poetic heart. Let’s dance together tonight under the waxing, gibbous moon…
Thanks so much, Susie!
Hello Jan I sent you a message on Facebook, and I’m writing back to you here as well. I met you through Barbara Thompson, and your poem about stones. I got your permission to publish that poem in my Stones of Change book in exchange for a copy of the book. I finally published very quietly last November, but have been not doing much marketing or any followup. I wish to send you your copy of the book, however I do not have your mailing address, so I am requesting that. Thank you. I am so grateful that you shared your poem (and all of the others) with me. I quite enjoy them. Alternatively, I live right here in Sacramento, so I could hand deliver the book to you, and actually meet you in person, should you prefer.
Sincerely, Dena
