Wolf Moon

Various peoples refer to the first full Moon of the year as Wolf Moon, this year it coinsides with a lunar eclipse.

Wolf Moon    -    09 Jan 20

The first full Moon 

Of the year 

The air still cold 

From the winter frosts 

Ground damp 

From the rains 

Added flavours 

As the wolf passes 

Through eclipse 

. 

It has not been frosty here but it gives a good flow to the poem.

Moon In Eclipse

Today the post is again slightly out of creation sequence so that it will be relevant to the Lunar Eclipse on 03 Apr 15.





Moon In Eclipse  -  03 Apr 15

Behold the speckled Moon
Bleeding softly in the night
Menstrual Moon
When time is right
Earth hides her
From the Sun
Allows her time
For her time
Earth curtain
Drawn aside
Moon smiles sweetly
Again





This was a "Blood Moon" which is caused when sunlight is refracted by Earth's atmosphere to shine on the Moon.  Only the red end of the spectrum actually gets to the Moon thus making her seem to be red.

Eclipse Visitation

Written to honour the lunar eclipse, even though I did not actually get to see it.
This poem is also a Love song and should be read as such in that light too.





Eclipse Visitation  -  19 Oct 13

In the wilderness
Beneath the Moon’s gaze
I wait
Blood shadow
Drifts across her face
Eclipse

In the darkness
My Lady comes to me
Takes me in her arms
Lays soft kisses on me
Whispers
~ Our Love is Eternal ~

Moonlight returns
I still hear My Lady’s voice
Whispers echo loud
Across the wilderness
~ We will always be together
Remember ~





These events are really powerful, as are the consequences.

Moon Fyre

Only the title appeared in my thoughts ~ Muse was playing her usual games ~ but this gave rise to this poem.  Which does, indeed, seem like the second poem in a series.





Moon Fyre  -  21 May 13


Eclipse
Energy of the sun
Courses through
The lantern night
Of a distant dream

Watching
She smiles
And gently touches
My lips
Raising the powers

Light
In dark in light
The Fyre of the Moon
Burns the phantoms
Of a sad day

Moon keeps watch
Over me
Gives silver kisses
Cherishing
Warm silver
