The Storm, The Sun, & The Moon
The moon goes through phases
As it dances with the sun and it’s rays
Some nights the moon shines bright
While other nights it tries to hide
The sun however, it always shines.
Everyday the sun brings the daylight
Then it sets every night every season
This is for a very special reason.
You see the sun wants the moon to show it’s greatness
And illuminate the night in the dark abyss
The sun chooses to wait behind the scenes
For when the moon is ready and willing to be seen
The dance between the moon and the sun
Is sometimes sad but mostly it’s a beautiful one
It’s the phase when the moon gets in a sully mood.
The moon thinks it must run from the sun and hide it’s gloom
It’s then the sun feels like a penny with no real valuable purpose
So the sun thinks it must dim for the moon and hide it’s brightness
It’s these thoughts that the moon must hide and the sun must dim
That causes the grey clouds to roll in and cry out replacing each other in succession.
One after another like a precession a dark storm is formed of clouded perception
Preventing the sight of the authentic vision
By keeping away the joyful light of the sunshine
And cleverly hiding the loving shine of the moonlight.
When you block the sun’s joy and moon’s love from self expression.
Those hidden feelings transform the storm into dangerous conditions
Leveling it up to a hurricane fueled by reckless extreme emotions
That exhaust any attempt to resist by
spiraling you into a state of hopelessness
It’s then the weight begins to weaken the levee
You become scared it wasn’t made to experience storms this hard and heavy
When the fears fail to clear any hope that remained quickly fades
Then you slip into the void of moonless nights and sunless days.
You start to believe there’s no such thing as finding true happiness
You try to take a breath as your negative thoughts become relentless
But the downpour continues on with insistent persistence
Causing a drowning feeling that pushes you further into a dark abyss
To survive you must surrender to the path of least resistance
In a desperate attempt for any sort of encouraging guidance
You look up to the heavens once more for a foolish chance
But with no surprise it was too dark and stormy to see anything clearly
Either the storm overpowered the sun or the moon was still hiding cowardly.
So now on a dark night with no moon in sight during a storm of uncertainty
Sits the frightening thought of letting go to trust the unknown of surrendering
As the fear takes a choke hold thunder roars and lightning strikes
Overwhelming waves of unpleasant feelings flood into your mind
In that moment of urgency you feel you have no other choice
But to send out the signal for emergency calling on your higher voice
You hear it say you can count on faith for your saving grace
And then right when you begin to feel that help might be on its way
The trust in the waiting becomes too hard for you to remember to breathe
So you hold your breath and brace yourself for incoming relief
It’s the moment when faith becomes lost that your consciousness drops by lack of oxygen
It results in a dizzy spin causing the vehement wheel of fate to step in
At first fate feels like death when it demolishes the walls that fall on to you.
But ever so swiftly the repressed waters are released to rush to your rescue
The flood waters pass through lifting the all the walls removing them fiercely
Finally you feel some relief as the heaviest debris is cleaned when the storm starts to leave
The storm seems to be over now but the water from the flood left a muddy ground
And the rays of the sun are still blocked by stubborn clouds still hanging around
It’s the mud making you feeling stuck and unable to make a forward move.
So solid ground can only form when the sun finds his way to shine through
But there’s a slowness in the sun’s coming out process because he is taking his time to illuminate the moon
I am willing to bet it’s when you forget about the sun while your learning to love his moon
That it’s then that the sun rays suddenly peek out from the clouds to shine on you
You feel the warmth in the moment as you take back any shown doubt
The sun may get lost for awhile but he always finds his way out
So now you understand the purpose of the storm and how to love the moon
And he reminds us to always stay grateful by creating a beautiful rainbow upon making his breakthrough.
