Eclipse
Me, the sun, you, the moon, and joy, the earth
You circle my joy
orbiting around
showing it who you are
and it showing you it's sound
I shine on my joy and you
giving all my rays
all of my warmth
creating nights and days
My joy it circles me
always surrounding
and bringing in others
who find it astounding
but you stand between
blocking my view of my happy
I cannot see it
and it cannot see me
you eclipse my joy
and I am unsure
is it gone or taken away
and with each eclipse I endure
i'm not sure why
I stay in this orbit
letting you block my joy
creating in between a split
maybe its when I do see it
and I see the orbit you do
the joy I do see
is what keeps me with you
is it worth it though?
having to see eclipse after eclipse
can the joy be enough to rule it out
or will it create too many conflicts?
