Explosion of shadows shoot through the sky.
Creating a surreal atmosphere of darkness makes me feel like I can fly.
Listening to the sounds of nature, I discover the eclipse is not the rapture.
I discover a beautiful blockage, the moon passing in front of the sun.
Praying for peace, and that peace doesn’t run.
Sun blocked by the moon is good, we can all see it and unity, for a few minutes, is understood.
Ending all the bad things, the good times are here, join me in celebrating a celestial new year.

Peace on Earth
Embraced by love, the eclipse happens above. Cleanse the world of negative thoughts, embrace the love of the eclipse and let it remind us that even in darkness, there is always light and hope waiting to emerge, even in the deepest, darkest pits.

Flags flew freely in the summer breeze. They consisted of a gray and white human brain against a black background. Scales of gold sat just overtop the image of the organ. The sun rose at just the zenith and shared its light and warmth with the attendees to one of the country-states’ greatest accomplishments: the graduation of two women who had been in a halfway house and found their passions for art design and communications. Mala and Sheltham looked on with sunglasses and cheered the graduates. With the knowledge they had months to go before being up on that stage, they looked at each other and grinned. After the ceremony, they walked into a pizza restaurant that fit their budgets.

"Praying for peace, and that peace doesn’t run," is such a profound sentiment. Nice work!
I like this particularl line Alex- “I discover a beautiful blockage”, and how you portray a hiding of something (the sun) as something lovely.
Loved this - if we could continue the unity…
I loved this! The imagery, intention and the cadence was just so well done!
‘Join me in celebrating a celestial new year’ Amen to that! Good one, Alex.
Oooo, beautiful blockage. I really loved that!
