eclipsed

i want to document an interaction between my daughter and me
she is quite an accomplished poet
she is also a mother of two
and very busy
so...tonight, we texted

she mentioned tears rolling down her face
i mentioned placing a jar outside in the rain
to catch......what i wanted to represent....her tears

her words:

they are probably equal. love and pray you have a safe trip. ready for happiness to eclipse you.

my thoughts------eclipse??????
so--she wrote a line
then-i wrote a line

"eclipse"

he clips
the pain from my heart
the silhoutte remains
burned deep within my soul
a cherished though charred remain
serves as a reminder of what's to come
the silhoutte of hope
your shadow of promise...
yet-----promise still
a reflection of love?
that can not be eclipsed!
