Whispers of an Eclipse
A poem and photography from my solar eclipse experience.
whisper of an eclipse
deep into the woods, I went
anticipation building for this event
the sky was clear, a vibrant blue
not much longer until the moon is due
I can see the sun, its blinding face
so much light still fills this place
where are you moon? please come and sit
block the sun for just a bit
the shadows fall all around
there is a strangeness even in the sound
the birds grow calm, fly back to their nests
is nighttime coming? confusion sets.
I see it now, each piece by piece
the sun being canceled crease by crease
the cooler air starts to breath
the chill I feel as I roll down my sleeves
gasp! oh my here comes the black
the flames from edges as the moon attacks
goodbye sweet sun, yet reveal yourself
things unseen, I’m beside myself
comeback, comeback I miss you sun
in your absence, a temptation to run
but now your comfort all back in place
your bright sweet warmth
shining gently on my face
