Everyone wept when my heart went dark,
Capturing the Rapture inside a soul-spark.
Life itself dissolved for three minutes tops;
In which the sky brimmed with God's teardrops.
People flocked from near and far to witness
Sun and Moon trading backflips for kisses,
Except they could not see what they sought.

Building A Better Tomorrow
In the field which I work in, I have learned many things, and of those things, I would most certainly say that the most valuable tool I have in my arsenal, which has the greatest capability of helping to not just bridge the gaps, that exist when communication barriers are present, it allows for the true establishment of authentic connection, this tool is none other than Compassion. I take time each and every morning, to reflect on the experiences I have had, and when I began doing this initially, I had much more than yesterday to reflect on, I had years of trauma which had been left in the darkness, having had no light truly shed upon them for a substantial duration of time. When something happens to us, of either a smaller less significant impact, or something of a greater, more significant impact, we must always ensure that we take the time to analyze, and process these events, regardless of how big or little they may be.

Very nice take on the eclipse. Well written poem.
I like the weaving of the eclipse phenomenon with the religious theme, and “ the sky brimmed with God's teardrops.” is a lovely way of describing impending rain Amelia🤗
I sure hope they saw what they sought...a miracle for those who open their hearts to newness and wonder. Mend your dark heart...eclipse the negativity. This is lovely.
Backflips for kisses - how sweet! This is lovely.
I love this take on the eclipse challenge! "Sun and moon trading backflips for kisses" has so much impact!!
