Wishing Star

The interrupted Sun by an eclipsing Moon, 
Turned the day into the night too soon. 
Earth shaken and adrift to an eerie silence, 
Birds, beasts, and life in transitory trance. 

In the fleeting night, luminesced a falling star, 
Evading its anonymity in the newfound dark, 
Evanescing, an electric make-wish streak, 
A moment’s magic for the hopefuls to seek. 

Among whispers of nocturnal breaths, it darted, 
Through the fabric of time, the sky it parted. 
A fleeting beacon for dreams unspoken, 
In its glow, heartful vows were woven. 

As the celestial dance overshadowed the light, 
Below, mortals watched, faces upturned and bright. 
For in that instant of cosmic serenade, 
The division ‘twixt day and night seemed to fade

Beneath the heavens’ grand, shifting scene, 
Life, fragile, marvels at what could have been. 
For in the heart of a wishing star’s ephemeral flight, 
Resides the power of hope, burning ever so bright.

Hope you enjoyed the Eclipse(and reaffirmed the Theory of Relativity).
