Dark and powerful. I found myself getting chills as I read this. It captures the spirit of a solar eclipse perfectly-that of the entire world gathered around, staring at the sky in awe.
Moments like those make you wonder what else there is out there. Or even what our own 'verse (universe), or even what Earth, is hiding from us. If this world which depends on light can have a part of it thrown into such darkness, then nothing can be impossible.
This is one that spoke to me. There is ballance and a reminder here that what we don't see is often every bit as real as what we do.
Although I've been accused of using few words, this is a piece where I'd like to think that I'd have added a little more, to possibly flesh it out just a little bit.
For instance, making it clear that it is a solar eclipse and not a lunar eclips earlier in the piece than half way through might be a helpful clarification.
