Eclipse

I saw the moon this morning
Still round, still intact after the total eclipse last night
I saw the sun
Bursting its brilliant light.

Out there, I know, lives a mystery
Since Beginning, until the End
A wondrous entity
A friend.

Beyond the grinding machinery called living
There must be more, gotta have more
A meaning
Of what all this is for.

I saw myself this morning
Caught.  Struggling.  Help, please!
I saw myself
Yet, I couldn't really be.
