I still remember like it was this morning the first time I woke up to the sun and the moon concomitantly sharing the glory of the clear blue German skies, with equally impressive presence. That was over some eight years ago. Today I had the chance, again in Europe to experience a thing of fascination, an even more intimate romantic display between the sun and the moon. If you want to see what was experienced in Brussels today you can watch the short video here by clicking on the partial solar eclipse link... Below I wrote a poem... there is a picture of Brussel's skies this morning at the end of the poem.
Solar eclipse - lunar bites!
The clouds worked hard overtime,
To form a moving veil which mostly masked the overhead skies,
It was about thirty minutes after nine am,
We prayed for a momentary tearing of that veil,
Prayers were answered,
The sun showed up,
It happened fast,
The moon nibbled in artistic small bites,
Violating the integrity of the perfect rotundity of the sun,
A thing of marvel,
A thing of beautiful mind blowing art,
Bite after bite after bite after bite,
And instead of crying a shower in protest,
The sun was transformed from the lunar bites,
Into a glorious smile which graced the dark morning skies.
