LUNA

Let me lie upon a cool patch of ground,
with the sun upon me and a cool breeze to caress
my body.

Allow me the shade of a tree,
and to play with the shadows
as the branches dance with the wind

Let leaves be overhead,
to trickle water from rains
and protect from storms
and shelter
my body.

Let my claws sharpen on the wood of the tree
and stretch, enjoying the power of life
course joyously through me

Let the sun set upon me,
and let my eyes close
give me a small patch of
cool ground to curl upon and rest
my body
and cradle me
until I pass to new meadows.
