ECLIPSE
The Moon
assails
the Sun;
a chill
deathly
darkness
conquers
earthly
light and
holds us
hostage;
the Sun’s
corona
standing
steadfast
as proud
victorious
pledge

This poem was inspired by the total eclipse at Cairns, it began at 5.45am (Queensland time), with the full eclipse coming at 6.38am and lasting for two minutes before returning to partiality for another hour.
