Sol and Luna’s Game of Hide and Seek

The sun determines everything for us

When we sleep, where we go, who we’re with

If we listen.


Sometimes the sun likes to trick us

Giggling, she says she wants to play hide and seek

With whom?


We found a random parking lot

Put on our glasses

3D, like life is its own movie


The birds flew away

They listened to the sun

and the sun was telling them to sleep


A quiet settled over us

a chilling blanket; silence like the

tranquility moments before actors take the stage


The sun taunted us in the sky

merging with her lovely Luna

Their game projecting beautiful darkness


She laughed once more, hidden from us

Oh how she loved to disappear

A perfect black circle of mystery and lust


How come the sun always gets to be in charge?

When I saw the solar eclipse a few years ago, it was breathtaking. I decided to write about my experience with the sun that day.
