An Eclipse

Separating him from what is bright
Shrouding him in darkness
For what seems like eternity
Yearning for the sun

A wonder to the mind
Yet only for a fleeting while

A special magic
A beauty unseen
Protecting him from forces unknown
But everything has an end

And so does an eclipse
The time has come

Shadows pull away
Revealing a new day
A new start

The eclipse is over
The sun is shining
And he is free to go
