What is it about April? What special thing rests within that month to conjure up such great change? Is it the promise of Summer, the banishment of Winter? The sunsets, baked in color and calm, or the tumultuous storms and showers, washing away the world? I can't be sure it's one, or even any of those things, but I can be certain of April.
I am certain of its chaos and peace. Its wild winds and gentle breezes. Its perfect days, and ever more perfect nights. I am certain it means something to me, even if I can't tell what that is. April is a door. One you walk through without realizing it, but one you'd go through again without hesitation. I may write it as if this were some sudden revelation, as far from the truth as that is. Its always been this way; all I've done is simply take notice.
It could be that April is the month the moon makes himself known in the day. Even as the sun shines in the sky, the moon hangs in that azure sea, afloat on the clouds and winds. As the end of days draws nigh, my old friends appears, in his humble splendor. He smiles, and whispers wait for me, and see me shine. This silent affair happily begins come every April, burning through the days of Summer.
Its only till Fall, though. The parting is inevitable, but far from sorrowful. The Earth readies itself for the Moon, turning the air crisp, and the nights clear. With the stage set, the Moon eneters from the wings, and begins his glorious play. From his Harvest, to his Hunt and Blood, he takes the stage in his silver light, a cold comfort to warm the world before Winter. No more beautiful is the world than under the Frost Moon, its last cry of life before the cold end of the year.
And this play starts itself in April, the unabashed Moon taking steps into the light of the Sun. the months of promises and hope, a time to forget the Darker Days, to look forward to the year to come.
To think, we once walked in the heavens, on the mighty wings of will. Now, we are ground from such flights of fancy. No more do we take to such heights, for fear of the Fall. We landed on shores of empty seas, sought the peaks of red-hued mountains, search for our place amidst the stars and the Moon, and now we can only look up into the sky and remember what was, but is no longer.
What is it about April? What special thing rests in the month to conjure up great change? Is it the warm rays of the Sun, or the heralding of springtime? It is the reminder of Springs past, and Autumns to follow. It, like the Moon, helps us to never for the change already enacted, of the change we can enact.
As if I could ever forget.
