The cosmic opus,
The nature offers it all.
enticing, ethereal, expansive
Are you enchanted by how vast it is?
refreshing, rejuvenating, relaxing.
Does it fascinate you to see the creation so invigorating?
It's Nature, an epitome of exhilaration and unceasing growth.
Never forget the labyrinthine it is,
It's tunnels coequals the branches of nature,
At each end,
invariably, something new awaits
So pick up the principles it purveys.
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.
