In the Time of the Hunger Moon
She enlarges her countenance
bringing brighter and different
light into our darkness.
Her message luminous, clear.
It is time to share, to shine.
Reach deep within to offer
that which will nourish, will
feed the hunger in weary soul
of another.

Notes: In Native American tradition, February is defined as “the time of the Hunger Moon.” Supplies are diminished, and winter’s harshness has settled in, making gathering more a great difficulty. Instead of hording, it is time to share, in hopes that some of the tribe will survive, will continue. In our current darkness, I believe the moon is sharing her message. It is time to share our truth, our light.

Not hording or seeking for what you can get, but “Reach deep within to offer”–is a powerful message indeed. Fine poem!
