i wrote this poem inspired by the celtic celebration of the autumnal equinox in sept 2011 and posted it on a blog which is now deprecated yet still accessible through my profile page.
********
stand precarious
tiptoe
one foot
facing west.
hold in your northern hand
light.
hold in your southern hand
darkness.
exposure:veil::awareness:oblivion
you cannot know what you do not see.
stand precarious
tiptoe
one foot
facing west.
hold your northern hand
open.
hold your southern hand
closed.
revelation:secret::awareness:oblivion
you cannot know what you do not know.
stand precarious
tiptoe
one foot
facing west.
hold in your northern hand
water.
hold in your southern hand
sand.
nourishment:drought::awareness:oblivion
you cannot know what you do not cultivate.
stand precarious
tiptoe
one foot
facing west.
hold in your northern hand
future.
hold in your southern hand
past.
wax:wane::awareness:oblivion
you cannot know what you do not experience.
