Eclipse of Sun
.
Eclipse of Sun is quite a sight
since for a while day looks like night
when moon moves ‘twixt the Earth and Sun
and over light the dark has won
or seemingly in visioned sleight.
..
That syzygy alignment might
in past have given grievous fright.
Yet now we know ere has begun
eclipse of Sun.
.
These days this marvel can ignite
excitement of supernal height
with mise en scènes our senses stun
in pageants not to be outdone,
while world continues on despite
eclipse of Sun.
