The Sun The Moon And Us

Once in a lifetime.
A moon small as a dime.
Some of us stand, some learn back in a chair.
The sun is gone but we don’t despair.
For those of us in totality.
For a moment, we escape reality.
Shadows are eaten up.
And gasps erupt.
Then silence all at once.
The moon falls from the sun.
The sun and the moon.
Depart a little too soon.
And as they depart.
They laugh with heart.
For the moon and sun, it was all a prank!
They are silly, but still we thank-
For a moment of darkness.
All a natural process.
The next round may be far away…
Until then we wait for the next dark day.
