Spring Equinox
Spring is the time of Growth and Love. Here is the story of one Warrior's quest for Love. This is an original composition by Mark 'Blue Wolf'.
The Moon Goddess and Orion
I am Orion, the Hunter, the Warrior.
You are the Moon Goddess, shining Light upon the face of darkness.
I stand high in the sky and watch as you approach.
As you come closer, the fullness of your beauty expands.
I am in awe. Who can stand before the Goddess of the Moon and not find Love?
You approach me in the heavens, and my heart wants to burst it is so full.
For a moment we dance together in the sky. The Universe is in harmony.
I lay down my bow and sword. Your radiance shines for all to see.
We dance, we commune, we touch and embrace.
Then, slowly, but oh too quickly, our dance slows, our embrace unfolds.
You are on your Path, and I am on mine. Slowly, we move apart.
"This is not fair" I shout. "It is what it is" The Goddess says lovingly.
I watch as the Moon Goddess moves onward, as do I.
I must keep moving, as must She. The Universe holds our Destiny.
Her radiance still shines, but do I detect a flicker in the glow?
I pick up my bow and sword. My hands shake.
I look forward into the sky so full of shining lights, yet emptier all the same.
I pray to the Gods and Goddesses looking down from the Heavens.
"Do not let this be the ending! I pray it is only the beginning.
Let this time now only be an interlude for the Time to come."
I continue for a time. Now, not just a Hunter, but a Seeker.
Tracking forward, there is a difference in the stars.
Somehow, they seem to be dimming. How can this be?
No! They are not dimming! A brighter Light is coming over the horizon!
The Moon Goddess is returning! Her Light shines upon the face of darkness again.
Her Light shines upon me and I lay down my bow and sword.
My hands again shake, not from sorrow, but from a joy unknown to me before.
My heart sings out and the Heavens reverberate to the sound.
Again we approach each other, again Her Light shines brighter.
We reach out and embrace each other. We begin to dance.
"Please don't leave me again!" I implore.
"But it is you who left me!" she cries.
"I have to follow my Path." I say.
"I must follow my Path." replies the Moon Goddess.
"The Universe guides me and my Path is set," Orion weeps.
"The Universe guides my Path, also" The Moon Goddess says gently.
We stare into each other's eyes. The Universe is watching.
We commune with each other. The Universe is listening.
We embrace more tightly. The Universe understands.
We dance our dance together. The Universe heeds.
Epilogue
We are still dancing. Our embrace is not being pulled apart.
We are still together. The Universe is not disrupted.
Heaven and Earth are in a new harmony, Life now truly goes on.
The Moon Goddess and Orion have a new Path together in the Heavens.
