Earth, in her
Circadian rhythm,
Listens as the skylarks hush (and the)
Insects time their iridescent, buzzing wings to curiosity’s
Percussion...all at once—
Syncopated heartbeats in the brief and dark
Epilogue of the Sun's love.

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.

Just gorgeous!! And a really lovely last line to pull it all together, loved it!
Oh you don't have to worry about that because the Poets community along with many others no longer require a minimum of 600 words hehehe. Your Acrostic was so stunningly beautiful! I loved it so much!
This is both softly melodic and the best poetic painting of an Eclipse I've seen. I'm hoping to see this place. Well done, my friend.
Such a beautiful poem, it paints a wonderful picture.
Beautifully expressed!!!💕❤️❤️
