Good Morning Sara, this is such a beautiful write which is so true , " Live in the moment " "Don't be afraid of the dark" and Lighten up , it's an experience never to forget the last one I saw was in 1999 while living in Spain, so pleased you witnessed and was inspired by it . Danny

Good advice Sara, we didn't see it in the uk. I remember once years ago I got up at 03.00 to see a lunar eclipse, it was amazing to see, the moon turned a blood red. Tom

There's light in darkness, beauty in pain. Thank you for sharing. Did you watch the eclipse? I watched it from a live video and it was astounding. God is good.

thanks for your visit, Tonye, and for sharing your wise words. Yes, we saw the eclipse during a neighborhood watch party. We patiently waited and were graciously rewarded with 3.5 minutes of totality...everyone hooped and hollered at first then everyone became quiet like the person's amazed at the event we were watching. Totally awesome experience.

The scene was adorable and enlightening. Although it was gloomy here, I witnessed a similar occurrence about three decades ago. Dear Sara, Thank you for the poignant poetry.

thanks, dear Sotto, for your visit. I missed the last solar eclipse...was in college I think and probably in the library at the time :-) We had 3.5 minutes of totality. Truly an amazing, almost life-changing experience. We had a neighborhood watch party. Everyone hooted and hollered at the moment of totality...then we all became quiet just like the birds. Totally awestruck. Glad you liked my poem. have a great evening, your poetess friend in Texas, Sara
