22 DEGREES

22 DEGREES

I had been fighting an internal battle for some time now

I honestly couldn't tell if I was coming or going

 finding increasingly, that my best company

was my solitude

Reaching out to you for so long now,

only to be met with your icy disposition

I'm so cold

And tired

Don't you hear me calling out to you?

So one night in the middle of June
I decided on a whim to take a walk 

Clutching my scarf to my cheek

trying to keep the ice cold wind at bay

The wet road reflecting my sadness.

I look to the sky for answers.

Despite the earlier rain

I had a clear vision into the night sky

My eyes opening wide

at the beauty unfolding before my eyes.

The moon was at it's zenith

The silence around me,
 my only witness to this magical sight.

I see some approaching headlights.

The person inside stops to see if I'm alright

I have a smile on my face

and implore him to look outside his window into space

“can you see it too?”

The beautiful dark stranger looks into the sky

I can see a twinkle in his eye

“YES...I see it too”.

Standing there in the middle of the empty road

a shared glimpse of the ascending node

The moon and her halo

He drove off and left me to ponder

my heart was filled with such wonder

That night (i believe)
the universe gave a message to me:-

Sometimes it takes us to look beyond what we see

for you to reveal the many degrees of possibility.

And best of all
you took the time to remind me 

that you will love me 
eternally
 

Pledging your promise with a diamond ring

Diamond Dust

I saw my first moon halo in 1993.
In Australia JUNE is actually Wintertime.

If you right click on the last two images, they will take you to

a link that explains how halos form around the moon and sun,
and describe DIAMOND DUST.
