eclipse

Aluna

Luna Aluna
for centuries
we seek your beauty
like a foolish lover

Luna Aluna
you are up high
on the pedestal
in the indigo sky

Luna Aluna
tonight
you are a little shy
shed off your pearly gown
your translucent body
dips in virgin blood

Luna Aluna
we are in awe of you
on the hilltop
of this ancient town

the world is never in darkness
except the brief moment of an eclipse

light never sleeps
except the brief moment of intermission

we are soaked in so much of its glory
we are actually in awe of its disappearance

we overlook so many blessings
to focus on the specks of trouble
like we speculate the blood moon
