Blackout


Anticipation is in the air
Humming through the trees
And whispering the news
To anyone who listens

A blackout approaches-
A time when the sun dims
Like a fading lightbulb
Until all is dark once more

The moon will reign supreme
For a brief portion of the day
Giving his lover the rest
She so desperately needs

But the earth is trembling
And the creatures call out
In fear of their sun
Disappearing forever

Some wail and cry to the heavens,
Other sit in silence and meditate
As the world descends into an unnatural darkness
And breeds chaos

So get ready for the moment
When two heavenly bodies merge into one
And remind the earth what life would be like
Without the sun to guide us

A blackout is coming...
