Eclipse Poem by Della Perry

Once the sun shone brightly, warmly,
Embracing each new day with utter delight and charm,
My friend indeed.
Young and vibrant like the rays of light.
Then it happened;
The Eclipse!
Suddenly life was driven into darkness,
Lights extinguished into oblivion, my mind
Thoughts in a pit of hell
Disgust, revulsion, guilt,
My enemy indeed.
Dark and gloomy like the eclipse of that evening
When I lost it all to the darkness
And it has never been found.
