The sun stands tall.

Brave comes the moon invading,

Balance of light

Fading toward blindness.

Fingers pointed up,

Mouths opening,

The moon now devouring the sun.

Almost covered,

Half of it vanished,

Disappearing in surrender.

David and Goliath

In the sky.

This eclipse is biblical.

Its testament, a minute long.

But what lesson can be learned

From this

Temporary triumph of the moon?
