The Eclipse of the Sun and other poems

The Eclipse of the Sun by Warren Brown

The Sun has lost its shine

Where has our Sun disappeared?

The Moon is in its prime

As it has brightly appeared.

The Sun has been Eclipsed

By the soft and tranquil Moon,

Which drapes the Sun

With its serenity and tune.

The Moon eclipses the Sun,

Just for a couple of moments

In our unending history of time,

Filled with all its permanence.

Eclipsing the Moment by Warren Brown

You made a victory

But your brother made a bigger one,

You were eclipsed by your brother’s Sun.

The King had a victory,

But, the Emperor had a bigger one,

The poor ruler was eclipsed by a bigger one.

The Writer had a victory,

But the Poet had a bigger one,

The hungry writer was eclipsed by a poetic one.

The Lion and the Eclipse by Warren Brown

Nature needs sunshine

Nature needs rain,

Nature needs protection,

From death and pain.

When the Sun is Eclipsed by the Moon,

Nature is eclipsed by the Sun.

The Sun is the source of life and power,

Even the King of the Jungle needs the Sun.

The Lion looks up at the Sun,

And he knows he is truly Blessed,

As no Solar or Lunar Eclipse

Can ever put the fiery Sun to rest.

Eclipsing the Love by Warren Brown

Can the sound of silence,

And the music of a gurgling brook,

Eclipse the Love in your heart?

Can the sound of a baby’s laugh,

The music of the birds,

Eclipse the Love in your heart?

Can a beautiful sunset,

With the bright sunrise,

Eclipse the Love in your heart?

Will the sound of Eternity,

And the music of Creation,

Eclipse the Love in your heart?
