Eclipse of Destiny

Embracing Shadows, Unveiling Light

In the silent theater of the night,

Celestial dancers take their flight.

Moon and sun, in cosmic embrace,

Conspire to weave a shadowy grace.

As Luna's veil descends with grace,

And Sol's brilliance begins to erase,

A hush falls over the earth's expanse,

In the twilight's delicate dance.

Obscured by shadows, veiled from sight,

The moon succumbs to the sun's might.

In this celestial pas de deux,

Eclipse unfolds, a spectacle true.

But not just in skies does eclipse reside,

In human tales, it does confide.

For as stars wane and shadows loom,

We witness life's uncertain gloom.

Reputation, once bright and grand,

Can fall into eclipse, at fate's hand.

Obscurity claims its silent toll,

As greatness fades, and stories grow old.

Yet in the darkness, hope's flicker glows,

As shadows pass, and light bestows.

For in eclipse, there lies a chance,

To rise anew, to boldly advance.

So let us not fear the shadows' might,

Nor shy away from the fading light.

For in eclipse, we find our way,

To brighter realms, where dreams hold sway.

    Some fantastic imagery in here Louise- like "As Luna's veil descends with grace, And Sol's brilliance begins to erase". Just checking- was this meant to be an entry into the In Eclipse Challenge? I think entries need to be in the form of a 7-line acrostic (ECLIPSE). Either way, keep writing:)
