Foretold in
centuries past
The sun and moon in
coquettish dance
creating a ribbon of
darkness
that crosses the
country from corner to corner
what crowds of
people cheer with awe
the skies put on a
grand display
no human eye may
barely watch
the hidden and
forbidden
as the smaller light
moves between
the earth and sun as
if to shield us
momentarily shade
the sky
and bless their
courtship with a ring of fire
the scene so rare,
so steeped in mystery
from times of old to
modern times
bless the messages
for us all
