The eclipse

A union of fire and pale

Once there was a time,

When two celestial bodies met in the night sky.

As if drawn together by the forces of love,

The timeless strings of the sky,

Quantum or otherwise,

These two heavenly bodies were joined together, by a force as natural, and timeless as the courtly, nightly, dance of stars and planets.

The Moon entered into the night sky,

Her sheath of stars wrapped around her.

Her mystery and gaze , calming the heavens.

Her gentle beauty of the night.

The Sun, lay waiting.

Had refused his routine sojourn,

To catch a glimpse of her,

Once more.

He, the Sun, blazed on with his strength, and valour, and warmth.
