Eclipse of the Moon

The moon aligns with the darkness Feelings of dread conquers all However, the Earth covers the light Now the darkness is ever constant Clouds cover what’s left of the edges Each pleasant thought now gone The amazing realization comes true The morning is farther than it seemed You hope that it is all a dream That the moon has disappeared from view Not only has the night gone darker The evening has been filled with gloom Everything you dreaded seems to come out The truth has become a reality But as soon as you have come accustomed The light has beamed back stronger Seemingly to melt the clouds away The moon dominates the cool sky Lovingly hung where the world is high The moon spreads its powers to all tonight Russell Sivey
