Total Eclipse

 

We watch the moon;

 

bringer of tides 

transforming goddess of night.

The change of her form

reminds us

nothing is static

but reinvention is beauty.

 

We lift our eyes in wonder 

to the newness of this night

as shadow casts itself

over the goddess of the skies.

She vanishes from view 

before she returns resplendently

more aglow than ever.

 

We imagine

with our feet on the ground

and our minds in the heavens

adoring the beauty

of the golden moon

we feel insignificant

but we are filled with hope

 

for change.
