Eclipse

anticipating 
darkness of solar eclipse
four minutes of night
shadow will never disguise 
madness of men on the earth

Hello Chetta, So nice to meet you. There were many people were anticipating to see the eclipse. Many people did and many did not see it. Enjoy your day my friend./Darlene./
