Total Eclipse of the Heart!

Life 2 Minutes

Worlds apart, the coming together, love’s close encounter. Two souls aligned, one in heart and soul, an encounter of a different kind. The breadth therein, an eclipse of the heart, divine love in its totality. Time, and space are eclipsed, the heart encountering how a day in love’s gravity, seems like a thousand years. And, a thousand years influenced by its spare, seeming just a day in its fullness. There’s nothing, love’s gravitational allure won’t eclipse. Perception, through the lens of the heart, eclipses what’s seen, within the naked eye’s peripheral. Eyes opened bright, lets in love’s light, becoming a beautiful sight, an eclipse of the heart. The sun, moon, and stars, captivating as they are, they can’t outshine, love’s celestial charm. Lying, like a child in the arms of love, dreams never die, wonders never cease… to be amazing. Love making it become, a total eclipse of the heart!

Every now and then, it’s a struggle, listening to the sound of your tears. And though, life says, the best years have gone, yawn and say to your soul; good morning sunshine. Yes, every now and then, our soul gets a bit restless. Every now and then, we feel a bit helpless. Every now and then, we get a bit angry. Every now and then, heart and mind are at odds, but, turn around; in stillness of soul, the voice of love whispers. When, a shadow is seen, it’s not only a shadow of you, but a reflection of the light within you. Even now and then, our light seems but a flicker, a light nevertheless. The concept of love, withstands. Regardless of heartache, despite heartbreak, love tugs the heartstrings. Whatever the soul faces, the heart’s resilience will eclipse. Every heart has its moment, every soul birthed with its own light, but, somewhere past childhood, the light begins to dim, if the heart’s not protected. Even, in those moments, love enters the darkness, to energize our love. Making our light once again become, a total eclipse of the heart!

Since, it seems like the whole world is talking, about today’s solar eclipse. I don’t get excited, about these kinds of things. This is how I see, love in a heart eclipsing moments. This piece was also inspired in part, by Bonnie Tyler’s well known song from the 80’s; total eclipse of the heart!

  3. It’s amzing how you can see these things. You’re gifted with a full measure of His Spirit to express the impact of love.
    I love the concept of eclipsing love, and I think it does stand between us and pain and sorrow until the comfort is fulfilled.
    Great concept.

    1. Feel moved to share this, the journey here, this place in my life.

      I’ve been in church my whole life, gave my heart and soul, fully in service of the Lord, at 15, forty ago. Grew up an only child, father denied me, mother busy with life, spent many hours by myself, or so I thought. From my teens, I knew I had a calling on my life, knowing swayed my faith and focus. Except, at age forty, when I gave up on life, thinking I’ve failed… to live up to my purpose. Everything suffered, my faith, my heart, the 20 year deep love marriage, He predestined. I felt like Job, Elijah, sitting under the tree, and like I spent 40 years in the wilderness. But God, He took my heart on the journey, how from my childhood, He’s been my mother, my father, my friend; my everything. Speaking with me, keeping me from drowning, in my silent river. How He’s kept my faith, from wearing out, through the forty years. He met me, in my brokenness, restored my faith… in Him. That’s when, I truly knew the depth of His love, and started writing. Eight years later In 2018, He called me here on WordPress, to be His vessel, share the words He puts in my heart; the depth of love my soul has known. Like I said before, He’s been loving, grooming, revealing in me, what love is! Blessings!

      1. Thank you for sharing that with me. I know that I didn’t know God in my teens, I was truly lost. But when I did meet him, it changed everything. I’ve made many wrong choices since then, I also felt like my ministry was stunted by me, but I’ve always held on, believing that there was more yet for me to do. So, I’ve also been writing from my heart on my post. I’m glad to have been able to find your page, you have a refreshing presentation, and I know that you know the answer in Jesus.
        Bless you brother.

  4. OMG Warren, what a great and methodical message. And honey, you got me with that song, “Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie Tyler, which is exactly what came to my mind when I read your title. Beautiful. 💖🌞💞

  6. Beautiful words concerning the eclipse that matters. Although I will say our heavenly Father gave us a beautiful showing of his power, authority, and wisdom with the eclipse. Always the sun wins.
