Quite a long time ago, I was blessed, blessed I tell you to have seen a total eclipse. I will never forget it as long as I live. We were living in Oregon at the time and drove for hours to get into the path. It is my hope that I will be able to see at least one more in my lifetime. We shall see . . .
Total Eclipse
Light - He shines upon us ,
with a brightness that can blind
if we gaze upon Him with abandon.
We must be cautious.
From time to time though,
he hides behind the moon.
A game of peek a boo
with his bemused offspring.
I saw the revels once myself.
I saw the shadow of the moon
racing across the mountains toward me,
her skirts sweeping the earth.
And when she reached my awestruck place,
I beheld the mystery.
The shimmering shadows of angels,
Dancing with God.
The stars shone.
Rejoicing for a moment.... visible by day !
Though their triumph was fleeting,
for the moon had a dance of her own to keep.
