What do you think this poem is about?

Helois and Selene

7/5 trochee (see below)

Doubt tries hard to take the scene.
Great Selene shines new
headed straight on paths between
Helios and you.

Earth turns black, a dreary sight.
Dark has won voila.
Deft Selene has blocked sun's light -
charming coup d'etat.

Hang around, the doubt won't stick
nature's having fun.
Shadowed orbits play their trick;
moon eclipses sun.
