Thank you moon

Tonight I walked under the moonlight

I didn´t know she was growing

I just needed to go out to the forest, near the trees and the water

My busy hot mind, and my heart heavy, needed to breath

As I start leaving the concrete behind

She got my sight

Rising, higher and higher

Her light was with me

As I start working my emotions

And some tears have to fall

The little river comforts my soul

As I get closer to the lake, and the forest

The magic began, and I had to dive

Into the beauty of the infinite sky at night

Reflected perfectly in Sidsjön

Hypnotized by sacred divinity in the dark

I walk around the lake

Breathing my pains away

Letting life run through my veins

And the fresh cold air clean my eyes

Surrender in the steps

That takes me high to the top of the mountain

Where the moon has hidden for a moment

So I pursue her up the hill

In the moment of darkness

I see four shooting stars

The first one I admire

The second I wish:

“Peace in my heart, no matter what.

Peace in my heart, always.

Stillness in my heart always”

The third one as well:

“Peace in my voice. Always”

The four one I only observe

It´s been a while

I saw shooting stars

My heart is in joy

And the light of the moon

Just to enlighten the moment

I am reaching the top

I hear some howling

From some far away

A magical night

I thank her

For being with me

Enlighten my way

Protecting me

I do a little pray

And kiss her bye bye

She shines and smile

Petting my back

As I walk down the hill

Is not so dark this time

But I see a shadow

It disappears and appears

I start to frighten

Just to soon recognize

Is my own shadow!

Moving and growing

And I walk down my path

The moon from behind

Has shown her

Nothing to fear, nothing to hide

Then I laugh and I tank her

For the beautiful metaphor

I think Layla Martin

And her post on #metoo

I think about my fears

Where they come from

And the shadows

That follows with that

The struggles I been, and am through

Because of so much abuse

I think about my purpose in life

Healing I want

The moon keeps on shining

Follow me through the trees

Through the mountain and night

I am not alone, she reminds me

And trust I must hold

That understanding will keep growing

And healed are we all

Embrace my own shadows

Embrace my own light

Thank you moon

You understand my heart
