Well, obviously late for this one, but I've just got home, liked the prompt and had a go.

Passing between the sun and the earth The moon caused a solar eclipse Revered in some cultures, In ancient times feared As people went searching for meaning Searching for structure

How could it happen? Was it a curse Or punishment for our wrongdoing? Times have been bad, but they will get worse Perhaps our planet slowly dying

Passing between the sun and the earth Resulting in shadow below We gaze on in wonder, so hard to believe Enjoy the celestial show

Happy new year, happy new year Enjoy the show
