Poems of the moon cycle.

In This Article:

Each phase of the moon is packed with energy and symbolism. Starting with the new moon, the moon grows (waxing) until it reaches its full potential: the full moon. During the full moon, emotions are heightened with the tides of feminine energy. The moon then begins the waning process where the size shrinks back until the cycle begins again.

Below are a series of poems, each relating to a phase of the moon.

1. NEW MOON

Regenerated and charged,

she waits to become large.

We plant her seeds,

her intentions.

Her breath brings unlimited oxygen;

nourishing the source lung,

feeding the highest soul.

She is new.

2. WAXING CRESCENT

Her sprouts begin to declare themselves;

seeing the air for the first time,

new energy is vibrant

and detailed.

The thought is taken to a concept;

a fetus of the higher plan.

3. FIRST QUARTER

Stuck with challenge;

her face will not fluster,

her momentum will not lessen.

Rooting deeper,

beginning the action;

her fingers are meticulous with the clay,

as it laps around the wheel--

molding the night sky.

4. WAXING GIBBOUS

Patience is tested,

but she doesn't know how to give in

to false light.

Gestation is cyclic,

as is her pottery wheel.

Spinning her out to nurture

and provide for the higher soul.

5. FULL MOON

Energy peaks,

blessings come to fruition,

celebration is blossoming;

her light shines bright.

Gratitude rushes over the higher soul,

as a waterfall atop the submerged rocks;

the flux is full.

6. WANING GIBBOUS

Higher soul opens their arms

to receive and rejoice.

Releasing the build up,

basking in the now.

Service is more than the harvest,

but the harvest meets her eyes.

She's allowed a blink of rest,

as the higher soul

nurtures internally.

7. LAST QUARTER

Decay is upon the higher soul,

such that transition must occur.

Forgiveness is met with adjustments

because the cycle must continue.

Her hands cover the eyes of the higher soul

protecting the nations and warming the skin.

8. WANING CRESCENT

The millions of eyes

begin to close

behind the strength of her touch;

the higher soul must rest.

Restoration and reflection creep into the dreams of soul;

composting the negativity,

surrendering to the true light.

Intuition peaks before the conscious mind

steals the reins once again

to become new.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
