~ Solar Eclipse ~

 

We woke in dreary down-cast dawn,

The sun was warming others far away,

Smiling with light rays not at all near us,

She was shy with her face, would she make the show?

And as the time ticked on, for lunar shadow to pass,

Magically the curtain clouds drew a full view,

The lunar disc had taken a large chunk of you,

A bright star as like a diamond did appear,

Like one I would love to enchant within a ring,

Baileys Beads of golden dew, it was growing dark,

Emotion sweeps, the moon silently swept past,

Corona, prominence, all gasping aloud in awe,

In a flash it was gone, the daylight returning,

I thought of Brunei John and hoped he saw it to.
