Premium Member Blue Crescent Moon

As the stars twinkled gaily in the sky,
they could only laugh -
They watched the moon through all its phases,
crescent, quarter, gibbous, full, and half.

But as she cycled through her lunar changes,
grieving for all love untrue,
the stars sadly noticed that
the moon was always blue.

So, they charmed a gentle nightingale,
"Please sing your pretty tune",
and "the stars beckoned her song
to reach the crescent moon."

Premium Member A Crescent Moon Bloom

If I could fetch you the moon on a spoon
I’d give you galaxies in a coffee cup
And sing softly to make you swoon
Then add the Milky Way as creamer
Stir the moon on the spoon 
Sweetened by your lips and 
The heart of a dreamer
Taking satiny sips you’d be refreshed
Find yourself in the family way
As celestial seed grows beneath 
Your breast making you starry eyes
My favorite work of art
For you grow like the moon
A crescent that blooms
With child dancing on ribs
Doing all the fetal flips
Birthing my red heart
Universal love child so dark
Ebony eyes onyx skin
Chiseled dimples on cheeks on chin
A star child destined to win

Shepherd of the Shining Stars

I will wander through all the aeons and uncover all mysteries 
As shepherd of the shining stars
Greek wisdom, the heavenly crescent moon

(Cento poem about Christ, using lines from the three surviving Gnostic/Naassene hymns)

Bewitching Hour

Stars sparkle in the black velvet sky
Lit with orange and red 
Meteor appears as a shooting star
A bright streak of light 
Across the heavens 
The moon, a lovely crescent 
A midnight gust blows overhead
The darkest ink lays before dawn
Arrives the bewitching hour 
When the veil between life and death
Is at its weakest 
Phantom limbs intertwine 
And witches cast their spell
I wake up unsettled with a cold sweat
When supernatural activity is at its greatest

"When both birds call simultaneously, it might simply be a coincidence of nature, but it can also be interpreted through the lens of folklore as a moment filled with spiritual significance or a sign of impending change."

crescent moon's sliver
lies upon a small gray cloud....
while whip-poor-will sings
barnyard owl replies answer
as daybreaks 'pon horizon

    A crescent moon hangs in the sky
       in two weeks it will be full

    Two weeks more, to crescent returns
       fascination’s endless allure

Waning crescent moon rises
Red sun rises adjacent
Whip-poor-will's love affair short
An arctic cold night

Crescent Moon

The universe has changed the aura of nature,
Today is the crescent moon;
By holding up the bright secrets and dark night,
May be it's God's boon.

Even the gleaming stars came into alignment,
To see the open jar of my secrets.
The secrets of euphoria and deep affection of love
Is now about to burst.

I can see the tint of your thoughts,
Said Crescent moon.
As I reflected my imagination into illustrations to the
Moon's canopy.
I saw the surreal moment of the melting moon.
And the spontaneous view reached to the peak
of its beauty.

             crescent moon waving 
             from her bed of sapphire stars
             hope rises, on clouds

She Must of Been a Crescent Moon

She must of been,
A crescent moon,
The way she shimmered,
And glows,
With the Autumn hues,
Her love,
Luminously sweet,
With the palm,
And maples trees

Definitive awakening grazes
the core of our being, thus transmuting
soul presence in phases that amazes
enlivened heart, with bliss executing
osmotic penetration in our veins,
that even as we soften attention,
witnessing the cleansing of feral stains
nurtured by ego, blocking ascension.
Spirit then ignites flame of living light,
which is who we are and now here present,
aglow and pulsating by day and night.
God signals dawning of bright moon crescent 
on our fontanel, as the crown we wear,
of pristine awareness, now self-aware.

Premium Member Crescent Moon

Your cookie-cuttered crescent
   white shining  slender moon
hung solitary 
   in the crisp Autumn dark

Until a cloud  dressed in fog
   pulled the shade
   obscuring you 
to but  a silhouette.

Yet, as be the way  with things,
   your cloud shall drift away
to free your lighting
   of our shade.

To be sure  such not
   to be  for me...
My cloud's caught
   on a broken 
   edge
   of my heart
And she struggles,
   struggles
to be free.

Premium Member Crescent Moon Reads To Dory Star

Crescent moon was a tiny bit chilly on pink clouds tonight
He got his warm cozy crocheted afghan and turned on the light.
Sweet baby star Dory stopped by to listen to a good story.
Crescent was happy to accommodate sweet little Dory.
