This is about the legends about the phases of the moon…

The lunar maiden reigns the indigo sea with elegance

The moon is a man with a gigantic belly that eaten away

Slowly by a voracious jaguar in the ebon night

And hence the moon changes its shape in the heavens

The sun goddess Saule slices away the moon god Meness

Who amorously commits adultery with the morning star,Auszrine

The sun sister Malina is chased by her brother across heavens

Who melts away in fasting state oblivious to his meals

The sun and moon are husband and wife

Who on quarreling made the wife pine away

The moon is in love with the earth and weeps on separation

Its silver tears glistening on petals as morning dew

And swallowed by the oyster drops of moonbeams

Turned into silver coloured  pearls

The moon is a castle of silver crystal reigned 

By thirty princes fifteen white and fifteen black

Each ruling the castle for a day and changing phases of moon occur

The moon’s fragments are seen as falling comets

Seen on the inky canvas of the vast celestial dome

A few pieces of the platinum moon , break and fall

To bloom on the earth as the sublime daisy in sunlight

The moon is melted away by grief at the hatred

That prevails on the earth , going towards barbarism

Or is the moon the bright bread of the angels

Slowly nimbled away through the month

The sagas are unending and diverse

Each casting an alluring aura…
