A shadow falls upon the light

An angry god punishing

The order falls to chaos

The sun’s light, diminishing

But soon, it is calm again

Not a sound to be heard

For a silent corona steals all breath

The laws of reality, blurred

Day suddenly gives way to night

The birds twittering, lost and scared

But soon, as the the diamond ring shows

They grow silent, not prepared

For the wonderful sight

That awaits them in the sky

The shadow lessens

The darkness passes by

Leaving only the memories

Of the day, an insignificant rock

Dared threaten the power of the sun

As we mortals stay frozen in shock
