Eclipse

Eclipse 

Grief is like an eclipse

Total, partial, solar, lunar

Grief is like an eclipse

The darkness can be all consuming

Or just a sliver gone

Nobody would notice 

Except you 

The corona of the sun

Only visible during a total eclipse

You didn't know what the sun was made of

Until the light was gone

The lunar eclipse

The middle of the night

Even the reflected light disappears

You were awake to see it

Feel it

Miss it

Did anyone else notice?

Grief is like an eclipse

It moves on

It passes

But you

You stared at it

Trying to see even a bit of what was left

And now it is burned into you

Forever imprinted in your eyes

Your heart

Your soul

Grief is like an eclipse
