Eclipse

This feels intimate, and there's a gentleness I felt in each verse. You call her angel, mention wings, and visions of her and daydreams... initially, I thought of this as having fantasy elements, especially with the beginning lines of the poem. Finally penning your emotions to mark their truth. And I think when some think of fantasy, they think it's not true or exaggerated perhaps. I thought of this, though, as someone who came into your life at a time when you both needed each other. When perhaps all you could offer, and what would turn out to be just enough, was the presence of each other's spirits. Some strength you felt from her aura.

I love the significance of the eclipse. It makes me think of someone who has come into your life specifically for you, and others can't see, or maybe they simply overlook someone who means so much to you yet is not appreciated or "heard" by others.

I thought of the possibility of this reading as you saving yourself, and subconsciously giving yourself as a child a beacon of light in the form of maybe an "older" you. Or a projection of yourself so you are not facing the world alone. But either way, I read this with such comfort, having someone or something (whether physical or intangible) to hold on to in times where we don't know why we continue on in this life. I think my favorite lines were "her own mind clouds her perception", because how true is that? When we can't see our own worth and beauty because our mind is telling us we are not worthy of love.

A lovely piece with a lot of heart in it :)

This is lovely.
