eclipse

The circle's edge is gleaming,
A blazing ring of light,
The sentinel is dreaming,
Our witness in the night.

A glance into the shadow,
Behind the giant's back,
Right there above the rainbow,
Reveals a tiny speck.

Defenseless and unguarded,
So fragile and alone,
This is where it all started,
Behold our only home.
