“The Lunar Eclipse”
Friends:
The Moon….renowned for provoking change in tides and love….went dark last night.
It hung there, suspended in the firmament, mesmerizing an earthly audience in its changing brilliance. Wine glasses glistened in its light and lovers on park benches whispered renewed promises of love and possibilities.
In the stillness of the night, man and creatures moved like shadows in the half-light silence of The Eclipse. The stars, tiny points of light, studded the heavens and embraced the throne of the glowing orange ember. All nature was in awe.
Like a curious child I stood transfixed on the front lawn as the drama unfolded, strangely remembering the words of Mark Twain:
“All men are like the moon and have a dark side.”
About three hours later, the familiar white glow of the full moon shown through the windows casting its luminescent personality across the landscape and bedroom walls. Back to its old self ~ order restored. Too bad the dark side of mankind never sees the beauty of light and the evolving enjoyment of change, I thought.
I slept the night dreaming of the memories of eclipses, of wine, of romance….and you?
