Horizon’s Place And Time Meet by Cara E. Moore Chapbook
Poem from this collection http://www.gaias-garden.co.uk/library/ACheerfulCanvas.html
Which solemnizes me.
Transcending ecstasy.
I clap my hands to see —
Flutter too far for me —
Still chafes it narrow bed —
His Caravan of Red —
And I meet, coming thro’ the dews
Another summer’s Day!
And I will write you a song
With their lies
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won't you try to come
Come away with me
And I'll never stop lovin' you
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you

The moon represents emotion and powerful instincts, patterns, ancestral and karmic inheritances. For all moon signs it is recommended to meditate with a bloodstone at the full moon to uncover hidden unfulfilled desires that are controlling your life.
It is possible to reprogram patterns of behavior and facilitate healthy sources of nurturing.

The two forces of mind and prana maintain the rhythm of life and consciousness. Everything in the universe is evolving. Matter in its ultimate form is energy. The goal of yoga is to turn the body into solid energy. – Hatha Yoga Pradipika

Half Moon Pose
Ardha Chandrasana
The moon has a rich symbolic significance in yoga mythology. In hatha yoga, for example, the sun and the moon represent the two polar energies of the human body. In fact, the word hatha itself is often divided into its two constituent syllables, "ha" and "tha", which are then esoterically interpreted as signifying the solar and lunar energies respectively.
(are-dah chan-DRAHS-anna)
ardha = halfcandra = glittering, shining, having the brilliancy or hue of light (said of the gods); usually translated as "moon"
Perform Utthita Trikonasana to the right side, with your left hand resting on the left hip. Inhale, bend your right knee, and slide your left foot about 6 to 12 inches forward along the floor. At the same time, reach your right hand forward, beyond the little-toe side of the right foot, at least 12 inches.
- Exhale, press your right hand and right heel firmly into the floor, and straighten your right leg, simultaneously lifting the left leg parallel (or a little above parallel) to the floor. Extend actively through the left heel to keep the raised leg strong. Be careful not to lock (and so hyperextend) the standing knee: make sure the kneecap is aligned straight forward and isn't turned inward.
- Rotate your upper torso to the left, but keep the left hip moving slightly forward. Most beginners should keep the left hand on the left hip and the head in a neutral position, gazing forward.
- Bear the body's weight mostly on the standing leg. Press the lower hand lightly to the floor, using it to intelligently regulate your balance. Lift the inner ankle of the standing foot strongly upward, as if drawing energy from the floor into the standing groin. Press the sacrum and scapulas firmly against the back torso, and lengthen the coccyx toward the raised heel.
- Stay in this position for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Then lower the raised leg to the floor with an exhalation, and return to Trikonasana. Then perform the pose to the left for the same length of time.

A something in a summer’s Day
As slow her flambeaux burn awayWhich solemnizes me.
A something in a summer’s noon —
A depth — an Azure — a perfume —Transcending ecstasy.
And still within a summer’s night
A something so transporting brightI clap my hands to see —
Then veil my too inspecting face
Lets such a subtle — shimmering graceFlutter too far for me —
The wizard fingers never rest —
The purple brook within the breastStill chafes it narrow bed —
Still rears the East her amber Flag —
Guides still the sun along the CragHis Caravan of Red —
So looking on — the night — the morn
Conclude the wonder gay —And I meet, coming thro’ the dews
Another summer’s Day!

Norah Jones - Come Away With Me (Norah Jones) lyrics
Come away with me in the night
Come away with meAnd I will write you a song
Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can't tempt usWith their lies
And I want to walk with you
On a cloudy dayIn fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won't you try to come
Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountain topCome away with me
And I'll never stop lovin' you
(Musical intermission)
And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roofWhile I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me
