Eclipse

Eclipse 

 

Momentarily reminded of the transience of life 

Change looks at me in the seen and unseen

In the seasons that bare themselves

Times that testify in light at day, darkness at night

 

One constant is permitted everywhere, that of change

Where a seed hesitantly wait for its seedling

A caterpillar sings the praises of a coming butterfly

The air expectantly awaits for deliverance of new lungs

A body decreased to increase in eternal sublime

 

A rearrangement as planetary bodies align to the light of the son

It is here that I find that the shadows cast in my path to be the light of the son

I then merely reflect the light that lighted everyone one 

A myriad wait to come between me and that which sustains

 

When darkness slowly creeps over the land as day becomes night

The grave hands of a certain fellow will know that separation is impossible

Heights and depths of circumstances will not be able 

I'll come out of it all when the son shines to a brighter day
