Fullness is Only Part of a Cycle.
The Appeal of Lunacy
I finally slept, but my mind was awake.
A dream left a memory I cannot shake.
What I saw in night's visions helped me find my way
along a path, to where, I cannot say.
..
I watched the spin of the universe.
Seeking patterns in the clockwork can be a curse
The wheels move faster as cycles pass it seems.
The past joins to future in seamless streams.
..
Life moves along. Thoughts and actions of generations
become part of what is expected from innocent observations.
Awareness becomes dulled. Often the viewer is blind.
Yet this dream offered clarity to a discerning mind.
..
That night, a force beyond light and sound reclaimed
a strange power, of the moon that waxed and waned.
The dream revealed a complex riddle.
Truth is not right or wrong, but found somewhere in the middle.
..
Those said to hold gypsy blood
feel the forces that pass in a flood.
Reflections from the sun’s source
hit the moon and then follow its course.
..
The invisible flow drifts from the silver mottled orb.
It directs in silent whispers, that all life can absorb.
The moon's control of tides and its power at night
is often ignored and ridiculed, mainly because of fright.
..
The Moon Goddess, the Queen of Life and Death
is the crone, maiden and mother that controls each breath
of creativity. She guards a glimpse of hope as a splinter,
especially during the darkness of the new moon of winter
..
The ladies who control wilderness and the hunt
have been called the males Sin and Manu, who aggressively grunt.
The old man with flowing beard and horns like a hawk
is Jack, who with Jill, shares this natural clock.
..
The jolly man who sings a tune, can become a predator and prey,
It eclipses, can be black, blue or blood red or shine during the day.
Lunacy easily becomes the subject of myth
since before mankind walked during the neolith.
..
Many know to plant seeds when the moon is new.
It increases success. Shooting the moon is a clue.
In the game of hearts, winning is possible
by doing everything opposite, the unlikely is plausible.
..
As the Sun, moon and Earth align,
gravity pushes and squeeze tides, offering a sign.
The waxing gibbous moon holds light of a cup half full.
We count sheep's skins, full of water and the fleece that repels it in wool.
..
The full moon, called the Eternal one, the Greek home of the dead,
is where Hindus souls return to await rebirth it is said.
The blue light at night, scatters during a full moon,
making all life in land, water and air swoon.
..
During the full moon hormones are disrupted and deceived,
affecting sleep and even how light is perceived.
Combined with Kirlian coronal discharges, mental and emotional states
change, as electrical Telluric currents flow through all the Earth's gates.
..
Trimestigus says 'What is below is the same as above'
Most agree the pieces fit together like a hand in a glove.
Natural formations on the moon resemble cell division,
magnetic pathways, and orbital precision.
..
The Moon River controls tides of oceans in blood and seas.
The Quasi-linear elliptical orbits resemble Descartes vortices.
Cycles repeat and are placed on a calendar.
Synchronized cyclical spins are often spectacular.
..
Harmonics can result in extreme low tides with wind surges
that helped Moses cross the Red Sea, this is sung in the dirges.
On the full moon, electron volts from the moon go to the poles at night.
The potential difference is widest. It gives a bolt to the sprite.
..
Dreams evolve, as the Moon phase at birth repeats,
with complex messages that can foretell strange feats.
Voices and vision are seen and heard in a blur.
They hint that unusual synchronicities will soon occur.
..
Knowledge of the moon lets dead spirits impart a message.
The information barrage is arranged by the sage.
The messages do little, but remind us of nature's rhythm.
We are a humble part of a complex algorithm.
..
Spins in a clockwork universe, above and below the moon
offers wisdom to those who know how to use this rune.
Presaging a lover or a new friend, a great fortune or loss.
many say that calculating the connections is just worthless dross.
..
Over the lunar cycle of 18.6 years, many dreams are realized.
Even more are despised, excised, stylized, and revised.
Over time, as the moon goes from empty to full
we test for ourself, what happens in response to the pull.

Great wisdom in this, and technical skill. Love the long lines (makes the rhyme subtle) and dominant anapestic rhythm: Spirituality and materiality become indistinguishable. Thanks.
