Eclipse

Today the moon conquered the sun in his everlasting shinign empire.
She won the battle against Ra, and the day light fainted under her beauty.
During the minutes the battle lasted, the river embraced the bodies of the sinful souls who tried to washed their sins away. They did it in the same sacred waters where long time ago Prince Sidharta thought he had found the truth veiled by the mistery of time.

It is something magical about it. About playing with this feeling, letting it linger a bit longer.
How we remember so vividly when there's nothing to remember? How is possible that time travels in circles, tangling our thoughts, destroying our hopes, fooling us in our pretension of mastering the anarchy of the Universe?
This human shell shaped by muscles, made of blood and flesh, lacks of room for faith and tries to find the reason why.
Maybe it's just a waste of time to spend energy in looking for the essence that binds us together, when it's easier to count all those things that set us apart.
But easy it's easy. What's the mistery in that?
We are all mad about the ingredient that spices it all up, without which the hours are just a compilation of boring seconds that sum up to equal cero. Strange adding.
We all want a piece of superstition in our cake. We need supernatural answers to our questions in order to run away from the grayness of scientific explanation.
We all love a bit of fear that makes us feel alive; that makes our poor hearts, thisrty of blood and passion, beat faster that tic tac tic tac.
We long for an encounter with our animal instictis, with our savage nature buried under centuries of civilization and colonization of the human being by ideologies and doctrines created to enslave our souls.
In the night, when nobody see us, we pray for love to come back and set our bodies in fire.
Deep inside, we are primitive creatures worshiping the moon whilst she kisses the sun goodnight.
But in our daily religion, we sacrifice ourselves to gods with no face. We refrain with no regrets.
But I do regret that.
