Eclipse Poem by Nick Perritt

Weightlessly they drift
Amidst a melting orbit kiss.
Two distant spheres tethered to the void;
In their unfrozen breathing
Nature grows increasingly;
Nurtured in their eyes.
Her borrowed light revealing
In the serenading darkness,
That shadows move in the night.
His spirit twists
In atmospheres
Of interstellar dust.
Locked in secluded emulation
From morning into night;
Their parched arms long for quenching.
Sleeplessly they gaze,
His eternal stare rendered
In her steadfast reflection;
Heavenward reaches art.
A thirst unquenched endures;
Amidst the melting tears of each;
The undying dauntless seek
What’s endlessly beyond reach
