Once in a blue moon, in the circuit of the cryptic sky appears the transcendental fusion, when the acquiescence of the sky emerges to display two heavenly bodies most exotic phases of union. On those, mesmerizing venerated nights, the new moon and the wolf moon in juxtaposition, supercede the perceived notion of eclipses; when the earth's shadow devours the pearly moon, its unparalleled companion! Contrary to the credence, they recline and mingle, into one in secret paranormal amalgamation! At that spectacular moment, the blood of the luna oozes, turns scarlet, and the venerated Full Moon turns into Blood Moon in unison: when the earth's umbra covers the moon in its arms, passionately to hide pains of her bunion! They have clandestine agreement, beyond the mortal comprehension to fathom their cabalistic union! Although, once in a blue moon, even the cynical corporals, turn fortunate to witness the epochal communion! Deluded and hypnotised, they come out with their finite, shallow persuasions! Even waning, the luna in all her immaculate purity, maneuvers the blue planet, her matchless companion in various alluring phases, in exuberant magnificent manifestations! Those rarest phases in rotation connotes their cryptic indulgences in culmination! The momentum of the earth-moon collision forms curious rarefied condensation, causes in its beloved's bosom, the tidal ridges, the ebb and flow, a unique phenomenon! When the luna grows from New Moon to Waxing Crescent, whispering the earth to cast its beams for illumination in diverse evolving phases from Crescent, First Quarter Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, Waning Crescent to the New Moon, both the celestial- bodies embrace each other in variant robes of orientations! Their hide and seek, merging enigma, provokes the lunatics for musing bardic explorations; as once in a blue moon merges the peerless pens to extol, the unfathomed metamorphosis of earth-luna's metaphysical communion!

you are really into nature and also many fascinating topics such as the crop circles. This is so nice how you give your thoughts on the moon.

I keep thinking Silpika, quite amazing, it would be, to hike wild areas with you...my daughters, when they were younger & I would take them camping, we always went on long hikes here in Superior Nat"l Forest, Minnesota...guide books packed,we stopped frequently, to identify & marvel at nature's treasures! Fun to read your journeys!

Interesting use of words - you do like playing them against each other so that the words themselves become part of the subject instead of just a description, although I think you mean "gibbous" and not "gibbons"

Hey Leon thanks for reaching out to me with such a classic review. How you have digged the skeleton of the rhyme is indeed praiseworthy! Ya, for gibbous, a loud cheers!
