Eclipse

The city holds it’s breath
Waiting
Anticipating
It looks at the moon
Indecisive
The moon smiles,
Cruel
What shall I do next?
It gets darker,
And the city is scared
The sun sits,
Impassive
The moon approaches
The city screams before-
Darkness
Unnatural darkness
And the moon is unapologetic
And the sun is powerless against it’s child
The city begins to die,
But the moon is merciful
It moves, 
And there is light again.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
