neap tide of the heart
Silver on a weakened sea,
breaking apart, recombining, running sinuous in the troughs of a Neap tide
Neap : Neep (old English) weakened water, a time when the tides are in balance, between the full and new moons, when the gravitational pull is weakest.
Fishermen go out with longlines on the neap tide, and in the balanced pull find the treasures of the deep.
We are currently between eclipses. Eclipses often coincide with surprising leaps in our evolution. During an eclipse the light is weakened, a neap tide of a different nature perhaps, when balanced pulls of longlines of the heart carry the treasures of the deep to the surface.
