Heavenly Bodies
Patsy Collins
A beaker of orange juice and a milky
way
The
sun sank low, finally slipping below the horizon. After him came the moon.
As
she rose, she looked down on their children. Beautiful combinations of his
bright warm light and her cool silent serenity, gazed back. They watched her
from every pool and lake, each sea and ocean. Even tinkling streams carried a
myriad of their tiny offspring.
She
felt wistful that their father was unlikely to ever fully see them. There would
be no better chance than tomorrow’s eclipse. For a moment he embraced her,
smiling happily at the bright glimmers of smiles on their now darkened faces.
