A Cosmic Event

 Sometimes, when heavenly bodies align
 A celestial phenomena is spun
 Some say it's a sign
 When we have this total eclipse of the sun

 The path of the eclipse will pass over places called Nineveh
 Which in the bible, was a wicked city
 Where the prophet Jonah went
 and the people of Nineveh did repent

 Our brightest star
 will be eclipsed, casting dark shadows on the Earth soon
 in a cosmic event from afar
 As the sun is obscured by the moon
 But is it merely a cosmic event
 Or a sign that we should repent!

Brandy Nicole Date: 3/30/2024 7:08:00 PM Within, we have a way of knowing when something is right or wrong. Our conscience sends signals to our brain that we should repent. I find the Cosmic event, fascinating. Our Creator created our solar system and how it operates. My best to you, Joseph. :) Hugs, Brandy Login to Reply

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 3/28/2024 10:51:00 AM Hello Joe, I am marveling at the celestial dance of heavenly bodies, pondering if it's more than mere science. I love that it reflects on ancient tales, invoking the biblical city of Nineveh and the prophet Jonah's journey. As the eclipse casts its shadow over Earth, your words stir contemplation, questioning if it's a cosmic sign urging repentance. It's a poetic exploration of the intersection between science, spirituality, and the mysteries of the universe. Very entertaining. - Blessings, Daniel Login to Reply
