Eclipse

The sun is a star that can't wait for the night.
The moon, his lover left behind.
The clouds shield her tears when she starts to cry,
as she grieves for the love she does not find.
He loves her still, but will not stay.
He must leave her and go to light the day.
He shines his light upon her face
but she mourns him still for he is
faraway.
A day does come when they are together as one.
Eclipse for a moment,
then the moment is done.
By and by, the lovers depart,
to shine their lights with
broken hearts.
