Lovers are patient and know that the moon needs time to become full.
The moon stays bright when it doesn't avoid the night.
Oh sky, without me, do not change, Oh moon, without me, do not shine; Oh earth, without me, do not grow, Oh time, without me, do not go. ...Oh, you cannot go, without me.
How far is the light of the moon from the moon? How far is the taste of candy from the lip?
Walk to the well. Turn as the earth and the moon turn, circling what they love. Whatever circles comes from the center.
The water in the stream may have changed many times, but the reflection of the moon and the stars remains the same.
When water is still like a mirror it can behold the Moon.
A new moon teaches gradualness and deliberation and how one gives birth to oneself slowly. Patience with small details makes perfect a large work, like the universe. What nine months of attention does for an embryo forty early mornings will do for your gradually growing wholeness
Thirst drove me down to the water where I drank the moon's reflection.
Tonight the moon kisses the stars. O beloved,be like that to me!
The moon has become a dancer at this festival of LOVE.
The lovers of God never run out of patience, for they know that time is needed for the crescent moon to become full.
Escape from the black cloud that surrounds you. Then you will see your own light as radiant as the full moon.
Death has nothing to do with going away.The sun sets The moon sets But they are not gone.
