Night Flux

Poems of the moon cycle.

76
Night Flux
McCall Donoho

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
