The Eclipse
The dim sky takes over my room
Giving it a feeling of gloom
A thunderstorm must be on the way
And to keep the sunny skies far awayBut the sun looks like it’s still alive
The usual bright blue sky barely thrives
The sky in its own way is calling me
To make me see what it wants me to seeThe odd-looking sun is working hard to set itself free
But is surrounded by a legion of clouds
That roared loud and proud
I forgot the eclipse rulesNever look up without the tool
That’ll keep your eyes safe
and from being baked
My eyes remain alive
From the beautiful view that made me smile insideI wish I had seen the ring of fire in its full glory
But at least there’s another eclipse I can add to my life story.Subscribe  or  log in to reply
Gerald this is so beautiful. It almost feels like I am feeling and experiencing the sun as I read it. <3 Lauren
