A HYMN TO KHONSU
Traveller of the Night,
on this perfect day of light.
You cross the heavens in silence,
lengthening your stride across the sky.
You are the Moon, the light-bearer,
the traveller who crosses the Two Lands,
dispelling darkness
and repelling the shadow.
You are the light within the darkness,
the second light of the Sun.
When the gates of the eastern horizon open for you,
the living rejoice at your coming.
Every throat breathes, refreshed by your dew,
You extend your arms around the sacred Eyes.
You restore the Eye when it is diminished.
You bring back the restored lunar disk.
You grow old,
and you become young again.
You disappear into darkness,
only to return as light.
Born in darkness,
you return as light.
You shine in the heavens as Iah, the Moon—
Lord of time,
measure of the months,
guardian of the night.
May your beautiful face illuminate my heart.
May your journey teach me renewal.
May the rhythm of your becoming
remind me that nothing is ever truly lost—
what disappears may return,
what is diminished may be restored,
what enters darkness may emerge again as light.
As the Moon returns to wholeness,
may I return to myself.
illuminate my path.
