Images of Eclipse

Images appear, randomly scattered Under the trees, in the shape of crescents, At the time of partial solar eclipse. Pictures of the sun in near-full eclipse, Like a deck of cards at my feet scattered, Ev'ry card identical--all crescents. Among the shadows, multiple crescents Match the moon-blocked light of the sky's eclipse. Between leaves of trees, the light now scattered. Gaze and stand in awed amazement at the Scattered, perfect crescents of sun's eclipse!

Lovely interpretation Anita. I was sat on our veranda here in Cyprus and it was supposed to occur during the mid afternoon. Seems my eyes eclipsed first with the heat! God Bless. D.

Thank you, Vijay. I don't want to forget the way the images struck me.
