Eclipse

When day meets night and night meets day.
The stars come out to watch the play
That second of time where the sky is bright
When the sun and the moon are competing for light
When the world is between a dangerous feud
Of sun verse moon and both are shrewd
Their dance of hate, envy and will
Their eternal battle to show their skill
'The moon is peaceful' one may say
'The sun is happy and that will stay'
But that is wrong for in that time
Decisions are made and one will find
The earth must choose a way to go
But never shall it end the show
