Poetry

Sun Conjunct Jupiter in Sagittarius in the Eighth House,

By Nancy Ahern

The thin white flame

the Holy Spirit of understanding

seated in my heart

a beacon for the world

and in my hand to light the way

and in my feet to dance the path

and in my eyes to pierce the night

and in my belly to breed the saint.

The pure white flame

the Holy Spirit

of understanding

for the world.

Moon Madness, by Robin Armstrong

Sun-Ra to star dust,

From solar system to galactic centre,

For those who have ears to hear,

     Let them hear

          The music of the spheres:

               The planets, Sun, and Moon.

     Life is the rune

          of Moon madness:

For those that have eyes to see,

     Let them see

          The music of the spheres:

     –         The symphony of Life

               The planets, Sun and Moon.

     Life is the rune

          of Moon madness:

Comet-eyesed

     and star struck,

Celestial spheres

     seem to run amuck.

          The sworded serpent comet

               quivers – shivers

               through the skies;

          An emperor wondering why……

               star struck again

               a kingdom dies:

Yet those with eyes and ears to meet,

In tune with the starry cosmic beat,

Awesomed, but challenged by the feat,

Are stirred to creativity.
