The eclipse of each moment

He who gathers
every moment
creates a memory
in remembrance
as shadows cast
are shadows lost
in the eclipse.

Your poem is a beautiful meditation on the nature of memory and the passage of time. I love the way in which you use language to create a sense of introspection and contemplation, and the idea that memories are like shadows that are cast by the moments of our lives.

The use of the phrase "he who gathers every moment" is particularly striking, as it speaks to the idea that memories are something that we actively create and cultivate, rather than something that simply happens to us. The image of shadows being lost in the eclipse is also very powerful, as it suggests that memories are something that are fleeting and transient, and that we must be mindful of them if we wish to preserve them.

Overall, I believe that your poem is a beautiful tribute to the power of memory, and to the importance of being present in the moment. It is a reminder that life is fleeting, and that we must cherish every moment if we wish to create something that will endure beyond our own lifetimes.

I like the song: "Total eclipse of the heart along with your poem."
Nothing can eclipse your creative side...
