Engulfed beauty by cratered rock,
Coupled in a guise of twilight.
Lingering close and closer still,
Inviting a union so rare.
Phantom sight with a cautious tale,
Soon, single celestial bodies
Embracing in a ring of light.

*I want to point out a couple instances in which I wrote the poem with dual meaning:
1. “engulfed” as a descriptor for the sun (engulfed in flames) as opposition to “cratered rock” but also the sun being *almost* engulfed by the moon during the eclipse
2. “Soon” as we anxiously await the total eclipse but also as a portmanteau (combining two names in a relationship) of Sun and mOON.

Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.
