Night Flux

Poems of the moon cycle.

Night Flux

In This Article:

Each phase of the moon is packed with energy and symbolism. Starting with the new moon, the moon grows (waxing) until it reaches its full potential: the full moon. During the full moon, emotions are heightened with the tides of feminine energy. The moon then begins the waning process where the size shrinks back until the cycle begins again.

Below are a series of poems, each relating to a phase of the moon.

1. NEW MOON

Regenerated and charged,

she waits to become large.

We plant her seeds,

her intentions.

Her breath brings unlimited oxygen;

nourishing the source lung,

feeding the highest soul.

She is new.

2. WAXING CRESCENT

Her sprouts begin to declare themselves;

seeing the air for the first time,

new energy is vibrant

and detailed.

The thought is taken to a concept;

a fetus of the higher plan.

3. FIRST QUARTER

Stuck with challenge;

her face will not fluster,

her momentum will not lessen.

Rooting deeper,

beginning the action;

her fingers are meticulous with the clay,

as it laps around the wheel--

molding the night sky.

4. WAXING GIBBOUS

Patience is tested,

but she doesn't know how to give in

to false light.

Gestation is cyclic,

as is her pottery wheel.

Spinning her out to nurture

and provide for the higher soul.

5. FULL MOON

Energy peaks,

blessings come to fruition,

celebration is blossoming;

her light shines bright.

Gratitude rushes over the higher soul,

as a waterfall atop the submerged rocks;

the flux is full.

6. WANING GIBBOUS

Higher soul opens their arms

to receive and rejoice.

Releasing the build up,

basking in the now.

Service is more than the harvest,

but the harvest meets her eyes.

She's allowed a blink of rest,

as the higher soul

nurtures internally.

7. LAST QUARTER

Decay is upon the higher soul,

such that transition must occur.

Forgiveness is met with adjustments

because the cycle must continue.

Her hands cover the eyes of the higher soul

protecting the nations and warming the skin.

8. WANING CRESCENT

The millions of eyes

begin to close

behind the strength of her touch;

the higher soul must rest.

Restoration and reflection creep into the dreams of soul;

composting the negativity,

surrendering to the true light.

Intuition peaks before the conscious mind

steals the reins once again

to become new.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
