The Eclipse

Light Can Be Hidden, but it Doesn't Go Away

Mike Oberg
Light can sometimes be shaded
And produce a dark appearance;
The Good within can be covered
And evil is what we glance.

When the light is covered
And the good hidden from our sight,
We still can know the Truth:
Good is here; there is always light.

Good will never leave us
Though appearances make it seem so;
Look past the eclipse
And trust in what you know.

    I like this. Sometimes the shade is dark, but the light behind is what makes the shade.
