Poems
Eclipse
Amidst the cosmic dance, an eclipse takes stage,
Planets form from dust and gas, a stellar birthright,
A celestial event, written on history's page.
Bound by gravity's embrace, a cosmic might.
Circling stars in orbits grand and bright.
A rare alignment, Earth, Moon, and Sun converge,
Shadows cast, a celestial merge.
Humanity, a mere speck on the cosmic scale,
Yet we dream of things much larger than our own,
Contemplating existence, so fragile and frail.
Curiosity drives us to explore the unknown,
Seeking truths that the universe has shown.
The burden of celestial bodies in a sea of emptiness,
Amidst the void, amongst the forgiven, a kindness.
