The penumbra that is loss, cast upon us abruptly
The light creeping onto shadow, kissing its edge
Gazing on the dimness or light, betwixt the two we strive
Arbitration just beyond our sphere, amidst our grief
Concentrating on the brilliance, a difficult endeavor
Maneuvering in darkness, nearly impossible
Remain fixed on the penumbra, await the separation
The momentum of loss may cast us in an impetuous direction
But an eclipse does not last forever

The penumbra that is loss, cast upon us abruptly
The light creeping onto shadow, kissing its edge
Gazing on the dimness or light, betwixt the two we strive
Arbitration just beyond our sphere, amidst our grief
Concentrating on the brilliance, a difficult endeavor
Maneuvering in darkness, nearly impossible
Remain fixed on the penumbra, await the separation
The momentum of loss may cast us in an impetuous direction
But an eclipse does not last forever
