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.
