The Moon's Eclipse Poem by Robert Edgar Burns

You looked up at the same moon.
Our eyes beheld it’s light.
Though many miles between us,
Our hearts still joined that night.

I knew at that pure moment,
Our sight crossed paths in flight.
I could feel my feelings soaring,
My love for you has gained new heights.

Then once again in your presence
I saw you gaze up toward the stars.
The moon was shining brightly,
Off in the distance there was Mars.

In the vastness of this splendor,
My eyes were frozen on you.
My universe stood in front of me.
My treasure stood there too.

Whenever I see an eclipse,
Or a full moon or blue sky.
I see your vision standing there
As the apple of my eye!

You have been gone for many days.
But in dreams I feel your lips.
My memory dims of our visions shared,
But 'Not as the moon's eclipse'
Shall forever stay there!
