Eclipse
On this cold January night
God hid the moon's face
Like a celestial shroud
Did the stars look brighter than this peculiar reddish orb?
That sullenly slept in the sky
Whose event was given of God and charted by man
And now moves the earth over its yielding host
And onward in its journey
Into the new millennium
Inspired by the total lunar eclipse on 1/20/00.
