The Moon is always opposite the Sun at the Full Moon (from Earth's perspective).

Our moon comes 

in sections

a quarter, 

half

three quarters

and full

It can be 

white,

blue 

and 

red during 

a lunar eclipse

As the moon 

rises

 it is 

mysterious

As it peeks

over the 

trees

one eye

shining 

bright

It can 

feed the spirit

through the

signs of the 

Zodiac

As daybreaks 

it mysteriously 

disappears

The full-orbed moon with unchanged ray 

Mounts up the eastern sky, 

Not doomed to these short nights for aye, 

But shining steadily. 

She does not wane, but my fortune, 

Which her rays do not bless, 

My wayward path declineth soon, 

But she shines not the less. 

And if she faintly glimmers here, 

And paled is her light, 

Yet alway in her proper sphere 

She's mistress of the night. 

Henry David Thoreau
