What makes the moon wax and wane?

How does the moon wax and wane? Who wrote this recipe, what is their name? A legendary greek god or goddess, Shaping the constellations around this lunar bodess? Creating the mysterious opaque hue, Is the sun's light, golden and fierce to lovely and blue, The unique and silent craters and hills, Brought into existence by lazy asteroids who take a spill, The moon's fine white pixie dust, Contributed by comets drawn near with lust, Its spidery web of fear and adventure that draws us near, Is woven of used up dreams leaked out of the creatives' ears, Here are some great wise rocks, Dumped from a bottomless black hole's treasure box, Its stately mountains are sweetly refined, By the artistic alien's touch from another time, And the reverberating echoes of the valleys, regal as Egyptian tombs, A secret ingredient: vibrations of the transcendal omnipresent omniscient aum, The cold still and airless atmosphere, Was perfectly designed by departed souls with a wish to persevere, For the moon's body, they borrowed a part of earth, Promising a silent and knowing angel to guard it after its birth, And the simple motion itself, the motion that makes the creature wax and wane, is made of the tireless energy known as Yin and Yang.
