Expectant
Under the dark new moon
Where diamond dust is sprinkled against the black, velvety sky
I plant new seed in fertile soil.
My breath slows becoming one with Mother Earth
Her energy flows through me
Joined with the Universal energy of the heavenly bodies.
Intentions are made, blessed and released
Watered, waiting, expectant.

This poem has a double meaning for me…the expectancy of spring and spring planting, and the expectancy of growth along my personal path as I read, learn, experience and share my life lessons.
As the full moon is upon us, I am reminded that spring planting by the phases of the moon is said to enhance harvests. Some gardeners suggest sowing seeds for crops that yield an above ground harvest between the new moon and full moon. Root crops are best planted when the moon is going from full moon to new moon. While I have never tried this, I have gardener friends who swear by this planting method.
I am joining in with Poets United for their weekly poetry link up for poets who blog.
