Half Moon
by Carmen H Gray
Today, as I leaned down into the ground
Connecting to the floor with the right hand and foot
While lifting the other half of myself skyward
Gravity pulled drops of sweat down
To puddle together near my right fingertips
I was invited to remember
How two opposing energies
Generate a power that is greater than its singular parts
And how each difficulty we encounter
Requires an equanimous state
Though we have toppled over many times
We are drawn to keep seeking
That pause in a perfectly balanced pose
Between the Moon and the Sun
It is quite exquisitely powerful and subtle both
Like a knowing look
Shared by companioned hearts
