In many African cultures, an eclipse is interpreted as a profound supernatural event, often viewed as a fight between the sun and moon, a sign of divine anger, or a time when deities are "hidden" and demand restoration of balance. Traditions often include drumming to scare away attackers, settling community disputes to appease spirits, or observing it as a moment of cosmic rebirth.
Coming to a point
With no tears
In my eyes
Never to forget again
What I am
Gifted
Intelligent
Divine daughter of
My momma and daddy
Friends of many
Throughout my time
Delight coming through
Love from one another
Meeting the same eyes
At one time
Our eclipse showing
When the time has came
For all to know
What was planned as a
Serious heart
Coming together
Here we stand as
Still
Wondering
What in the heck
Is next for
A girl with
The
Oh no now she knows
How miracles can be formed
With a reason so big
It had to be understood
As
The deepest dream ever to
Come true
Like going around the moon and landing only
To get use to
A different gravitational pull.
Hair no longer standing
Just relaxing with
I’m back
And
It is what it is
Truly I been there and
Still
Doing the damn thang
Regardless
Of the overcoming of me
Still hollering
For
Dear life.
