The Darkness At Noon
As the moon passes over the sun
the earth to darkness is plunged
in olden times people were in fear
thinking this is the world's end
Pitch blackness covers the earth
day and night are now reversed
no bird songs now can be heard
just an ominously deep silence
slowly so slowly the light returns
a collective sigh of relief from all
today is not yet the world's end
just an eclipse of startling magnitude
