On the path of totality
a rare occurrence, a total eclipse
gathering of hopefuls to catch a glimpse
On the path of totality
moon passing between earth and sun
a celestial event, no one can stop what has begun
On the path of totality
as, the moon makes its journey, one feels the chill
the birds stop flying and became eerily still
On the path of totality
drumming, I offer a song to the heavenly spheres
watching the few remaining clouds disappear
On the path of totality
vision of a life-time, the sun’s corona shines
a sense of other worldliness – something divine

How wonderful to witness that, to hear the birds go still, and to drum and sing through the mystical occurrence. Wonderful!

Great poem Truedessa. What an interesting event the eclipse was for all of us. Were you in the path of totality? I love you diamond ring picture.
ReplyDeleteWe didn’t get to see the eclipse over here, so you have brought it to me with your poem.
ReplyDeleteI love the tension of waiting for that dark totality, I really hope you could make it an occasion with your drums.
ReplyDeleteYes - thank you for sharing the eclippse with those of us who weren't there...
ReplyDeleteYou have summed up the Eclipse phenomena perfectly!!!!
ReplyDeleteThere is something divine, it seems to me. I like the form you chose for this piece and the repetition works well.
ReplyDeleteYou captured beautifully in words the celestial phenomenon.
ReplyDeleteYou've captured the magic of an eclipse--it was mostly covered by clouds here.
