The Eclipse Of The Sun

In the hush of the moment,
in the silence of the day
when the light suddenly fades,
when the sky melds in dance with the shadows

and the flowers close
and the birds’ song grows silent
and the people turn in slow motion
with their hands shielding
the questioned faces which look to the sky

in the hush of this moment,
in the silence of this day
when the light suddenly slips to gray
and the sky melds with the dance of the shadows

I await for the sound of your voice
that sings in a whisper my name
and allows me to know once more
that this enclosing darkness

is but a moment and that day will return
once again in the softness of your smile.
