Totality sends chills up the spine of soul,
my muse sits gaping at the video of the event,
and I weep because I can't witness it in person.
I remember Grandpa talking
about an eclipse he witnessed
in his younger years.
He said,
the people in his church were praying
for protection
because of the phenomenon,
and I can understand their reaction.
Even though,
I know what causes a total solar eclipse,
I still find it awe inspiring.
I would pray
if I were to witness the eclipse
in person,
but it would be a prayer of thanksgiving,
of gratitude,
for the opportunity
to see the moon pass
between the sun and Earth.
