Lunar Eclipse

There was a lunar eclipse a few days ago.... So here is a lunar poem for Claire.

Today sees a Mercury Transit.
Astrologers/astronomers will know the significance of these events but Mercury is about communication so maybe it's a good day for that!

Lunar Eclipse
for Claire

A white light wraps over birdsong
Out of the belly of the new moon a new sun is born
Old ways are shorn
Dross hits flame
And prayers rise on bird wing.
Whatever you need ask now
For heaven is listening.
