Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Eclipse 2024

There is to be
an eclipse today -- 

a contrary moon
having its dark side
illuminated – 

nothing with free will strong enough
to turn its back entirely on light – 

America in shadows now

under veil of opposing contrasts

The sun, reflective candle
of near revelation, with mission
of source inextinguishable

like that burning bright
in the heart of all men, Power
All Mighty, lustrous center
of brilliance indwelling
unstoppable

Truth will conquer!

and love will once again heal

our nation
Trusting in God reaffirmed
indelible!

Hilda Greenhough April 8, 2024 at 9:30 AM Today is the day. It no longer has much meaning. At one time an eclipse was a precursor to future events. A perfect write for the event. Joseph P. DiMino April 8, 2024 at 11:39 AM Hi Hilda; thank you. I will not even watch -- rather write on the computer. That type of stuff, of no interest to me anymore.

Paula Goldsmith April 7, 2024 at 9:18 AM I enjoyed reading your wonderful "Eclipse 2024" write. Great Ending... Have a blessed day writing away........... Joseph P. DiMino April 7, 2024 at 9:20 AM Thank you, Paula; who knows? I try to remain positive, but times a-trying. Blessings my friend.

Anne-Lise Andresen April 7, 2024 at 6:39 AM - I really hope the truth will prevail, Joe ... don't be a silent spectator !!! - A great poem - HUGS Joseph P. DiMino April 7, 2024 at 8:06 AM Hi Anne; thank you. Difficult to get truth out, but not impossible. Much of mainstream media has lost its soul. Personal gain and survival all that matters. Morals under attack, Christian faith under attack...they worship at the altar of Evil, unabated self-indulgence in my opinion. In the name of the environment, compassion for the needy, compassion for troubled youth, they have created a cesspool of spiritual depravity. Not easy to reason with Lunatics. Blessings my friend.

Vijay Pandit April 7, 2024 at 5:14 AM Aptly descriptive poem, my friend--a timely rendering on the eve of 2024 eclipse. --America in shadows now--yes, indeed! Joseph P. DiMino April 7, 2024 at 8:14 AM Hi Vijay; lets hope that when the sun pokes its bright face out again, and light begins to advance over our nation, that people openly reflect on the light within -- no continent, no world can revolve healthfully, if its inhabitants do not change themselves, remain twisted to the fundamental core. Change must come from inside -- as Christ say, "The Kingdom in the palm of your hand," already. Needing only loving extraction.
