Partial Eclipse of the Heart

Last year I endured a crushing total eclipse of the heart. Bonnie Tyler and then TPau? Yes, it was one of 'our' songs. On reflection it had been a gradual blocking out of the light just like the minute by minute progress of our moon yesterday morning. And like the real thing that plays out its cosmic display over the horizon, my total eclipse with time became partial again. You see, all things are connected and time is the constant which changes them. At first any eclipse makes the world a darker place. The gloomy progression is made worse and feels beyond our control. Then, because of time, the gloom peels back to reveal only a partial blemish on our entire world. Finally the Sun is made to shine again and like the Sun our hearts can open out once more. I wish my experience however had not lasted so long. If it had played out in only a few minutes just like the events of yesterday I would not have lost so much time and personal resources. This I know was an impossibility. There is gravity created between two people just like the one that binds other heavenly bodies that spiral in motion. This gravity needs to break or at least stretch to a extremely wide position. And now that its over? I can look out to my world that is day by day being lit up just as it once was. "Don't wish too far, your dreams are China in your hand".
