I like Patricia's new poem. It's a metaphor for various things. - poetheart 07/22/02
Not a word, nor a sound
Nor a sign, nor a motion
To pronounce the Eclipse of two forces
In sync with emotion.
Aligned towards the future
All the yesterdays have passed
Knowing today's final shadow
Would someday be cast.
The full moon will part
And miss the bright sun
This phase nearly over
As a new one's begun.
All the hours spent
That have led up to this day
Bring celestial approval
That destiny culminates in this way.
Tranquil in the eclipse of this moment
The sky accepts the haze
Full of transmitted memories,
Moonbeams and solar rays.
"Farewell, sweet Sunshine"
"Good-bye, honey Moon"
I'll think of you
And I promise
I will be back soon.
