The Elements of Loving

Last night, we celebrated the Loving Moon, exploring the presence of love and pleasure in our lives. Enjoy the poetry of these elemental invocations in all their sensual expansiveness!

 
 We call to the East and Air
To communication:
To our power to say “no”
To our power to say “yes”!
We call to the breeze that caresses our naked skin
Soft sighs
And the joyful sound of pleasure shared
The vibration of air between lips that have not yet touched
To the sparkling intensity of that which is new
To the East, we say
Hail and welcome, Air!



We call to the South and Fire
To the passion that flares
Electric heat coursing through our veins
Hearts thumping, sweat slicking us
We call to the rising of desire
The hot flush that paints our cheeks red
To the movement of our bodies as we pursue
What we want
To the South, we say
Hail and welcome, Fire!



We call to the West and Water
To the ache of our hearts
Swelling with love
Sending waves of blood through our bodies
As the oceans send waves crashing on the shore
We call to the fluidity of intimacy,
the sweet wetness of our bodies
The luscious honey taste of love
To the West, we say
Hail and welcome, Water!



We call to the North and Earth
To the arch of the night, covering the earth
To the upthrust mountains
The folds and recesses of valleys
The secret places which we discover through exploration
We call to the power of being present in our skin
The way we occupy troubled spaces
Renaming, reshaping, reclaiming
Declaring what and how to touch
We call to our power to make each other real
To the North, we say
Hail and welcome, Earth!
