Haiku No. 185: Black Moon Rising

black-moon_web

Black moon rises dark
Unseen, but still ascending.
Reflect and intend.

Begin new cycle
Combine the old with the new
Always, love all ways.

I knew that it was the new moon, but when I did a little google search I found out this is a “black moon” today, because it’s the 2nd new moon this month. The last “black moon” was in March 2014.  During the new moon, the moon rises with the sun, and travels across the sky with it, so it is unseen.  New moons are always the time when we should reflect on our lives and set our intentions.
