Eclipse

Darkened horizon
Creeping shadows collide
Space filled with void
Sound silenced in time
Light-years spread over distance
Shooting stars into unknown galaxies
Nothingness prevails
Where Earth falls away
Places where science does not exist
Gravity succeeds in pulling us down
Light reflected on a natural satellite
La Luna.

Author notes

I was looking up on Google some things that had animation and came across this picture of the moon in an eclipse and I got inspiration from it.

    Considering you hadn't set out to write this and only did because of a picture you saw, you have done a wonderful job! 'Light reflected on a natural satellite' was my favourite line, so pure, this universe around us.

    Glad I chose another one, because this is much better. Every single line of this is a new, and brilliant statement. It has a much bigger impact as well. "Nothingness prevails" - i love that line.such beautiful, magnificent imagery.
