Mindful of Solar Eclipse

MINDFUL OF SOLAR ECLIPSE He’s coming with his dark glasses and dizzying smile He’s stopping by for a minute or two a minuet of manic joy He covers the sun with his steady hand she tingles with trepidation Will she be blotted out from his employ she wipes off sweat as he passes by Merely a warning of end times dark days of deepened sin We watch with amusement arm in arm on love boats Standing in main line parks finding the perfect spot Would we find the perfect standing of our heart a bond with the patient perfect God When the cross covered the earth in darkness men of old took note When the stone rolled away from the sun the eclipse was eradicated Emblematic pain or joy of your soul gaze up with future foretold 8/21/2017 An unrhymed couplet Strand’s Standard Contest NO 30 1st Place

A potpourri of associated images that are powerful and evocative. I find this poem, as with many others of yours, mystifying, but intriguing, and always impressive.
