As darkness fell, the crickets sang
Birds fell silent, nothing rang
Just the rustle of leafy trees
Bowing to the gentle breeze
A coolness in the air was felt
As suddenly, the sun would melt
Into one, when the moon did cover
Taking her, as his daytime lover

And when the moon hides the sun
And darkness reigns o’er the lands
It is then we will find inner peace
For the Earth, however briefly, will be silenced
A silence, so deafening, you cannot ignore
Your heart, the only sound, beating aloud
As you inhale the glory, of the heavens above
If you’re watching the eclipse today, please be safe and remember to wear the right eye protection! Ordinary sunglasses will not work!! Enjoy the show! 🙂

You shadowed my light, almost on cue
Blocked the rays that shone just so
Seized the moment, however brief
To hide that which I may never know
Eclipsed, I remained in the dark
Fighting my way through the pitch
Turned my face, away from the sight
As you easily captured, bewitched
Could I reclaim the moment I needed
To describe this ethereal sensation
The return of the light, in the daytime sky
To which I pray, is our Heavenly salvation

She kept her face hidden, sheltered from sight
This spirit who wandered, throughout the night
No one could see her, though shimmering white
She must be an angel, the keeper of light
****
Yet, she knew the reason, she was left here alone
Her soul was not finished, her deeds, to bemoan
This being who stayed, while the others flew home
Is the keeper of darkness, bound to Earth, an unknown
