AN ASTROPOETIC DIALOGUE WITH TIT TIHON 

By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe

My guest for this dialogue is a former mathematics teacher, trainer for participants in astronomy olympiads and national laureate for astropoetry. Unfortunately, I have been able to translate from Romanian to English only a small part of his vast astropoetic opera.

ECLIPSE 

By Tit Tihon 

.

Once in a lifetime, blessed by the Universe, 

the venerated mysteries of millennia are revealed. 

Billions of earthlings with their eyes on heaven 

bring joy to their ephemeral existences. 

.

The Allais effect has confused science for centuries, 

the pendulum swings bizarrely, reversing the precession, 

people predict the mysteries of the eclipse now 

that brings darkness to seas and continents. 

.

The cities of the northern continent, 

with millions of curious people from everywhere, 

through shards of smoked glass or glasses 

watch the Moon devouring the light. 

.

The event as a fascinating coincidence 

asks the faith of the world to defend the freedom 

of this cosmic battle between good and evil 

from the disasters that are coming to the world. 

.

Hundreds of millions watch for a few minutes 

the miraculous spectacle of the Moon on the Sun, 

worshiping the beauty of our Divinity, 

Niagara Falls as a “state of emergency”. 

.

A fascination for thousands of other admirers 

who watch the darkness from airplanes in flight. 

And astronauts of the International Space Station, 

from Cosmos the shadow of the Moon passes over the Earth.

ANOTHER ECLIPSE ASTRO-HAIKU

Moon shading Sun 

unforgettable eclipse 

beads of light all around
