Brian Baumgarn Poet Verse

Blood Moon Iii

It tracks across the heavens this
bold omen of the night.
Some seeing this ecliptic were
set shivering with fright.
This 'Blood Moon,' full in April which
own secrets deep and stark,
proclaims its mystic countenance
imploring from the dark.

So many stare in wonder at 
the tetrads third portent.
When next the 'Blood Moon' greets the night
will men cry and relent?
A face of dread like embers red,
yet salient in the sky.
Those seeking your true meaning, soon
may glean the reason why.

The shading of our silver moon
four times from darkened shroud
may spell the future's deep descent,
or lead us forth, unbowed.
The silent, crimson sentinel
who from celestial height
purveys symbolic knowledge as
we search the sky tonight.


                           Blood Moon III
                           Common Verse

Richard Lamoureux April 16, 2015 at 8:07 AM I think with faith we have an ability to see events like this with far more clarity and with a sense of awe. Brian Baumgarn April 22, 2015 at 6:26 AM The knowledge involved figuring time tables and knowing ecliptics and such boggles my mind. More will be revealed!!

Richard Lamoureux April 14, 2015 at 7:55 AM I like the mood you have created with this piece. The moon has a way of captivating us and you have aptly described it's mystical qualities with your words. Brian Baumgarn April 16, 2015 at 6:41 AM Thanks again. This one was different than the previous two as it happened on my evening off. Whether someone believes, has a faith or not, an event like this will get your attention for sure. Have a good one.
