A wonderful rare occurrence. |
Close to the earth it traverses the heavens An image large and luminous Until the earth shifts Directly in line So that the light is eclipsed A rarity of time and space When both size and sights converge. In ancient times, thoughts ran To the end of the world But now, there is a yearning to see And experience all that is Other worldly. Watch the sky And marvel at all that is See the reflection In the shimmering waters That lay silently Awestruck at the moment Held in time And wonder. We are witnesses To this natural phenomenon No blood will be spilled No violence unbound Just a witnessing Of wonderment. 26 lines.
