[bodytext] => Full Moon - Two weeks after the new moon, the moon is now halfway through its revolution, and now the illuminated half coincides with the one facing the Earth, so that we can see a full disk. If the Moon happens to align exactly with the Earth and Sun, then we get a lunar eclipse. Waning Gibbous Moon - From now on, until it becomes new again, the illuminated part of the Moon that we can see decreases, and we say it's waning. The first week after full, it is called waning gibbous. Oh bewitching Moon, features full, the tides and emotions feel your pull great Orb, shining your silvery pallor, Selene casting forth her ardour luminescent in the night, still sewing love in morning’s light. Gypsy, hunter, blue and hare, so many names to try and compare what you are and will be, but you are all these and still a mystery for you are beyond harvest and season, much more than any mortal ascription. Mother Isis, with Earth’s shadow cast, your blood red stare is unsurpassed eliciting both awe and fright, when Terra eclipses Sol’s great light cratered features stark in totality, your scarred face is so beautiful to me. La Luna, all lovers and lunatics, for a time are yours, held transfixed so Moon, know that your silent gaze, keeping minds and hearts ablaze has done more for love than sun or earth, for what it’s worth.
