Notes About The Poem

What is different though seems not much change. I explored the eclipse sitting in my living space, shades partially open. My hubby continued to work. This means he will finish and we can go out to dinner. I did not get any glasses to view the eclipse as I was too busy preparing for my trip. I saw a previous one so no biggie! Hugs-a-million ~ Kim

O Luna-O Soleil

I didn’t notice much change, but now
the birds begin to sing…the music
breaks through…it is okay once more.

The ancients must have thought so.
I wonder of the animals in the zoo,
the scientists rubbing their palms.

I noticed when it seemed a minor dim,
hardly noticeable. Didn’t have glasses
to join the din, so opened the shades.

Now, seems a bit brighter. Hoping
the world sees it the same. A bit
brighter, a hopeful tomorrow.

O Luna! O Soleil!
Slay me…but save my eyes.
The night and day meet,

out in the open they meet,
and the worshippers gather,
but I

hold out for the Creator, my hands
as if holding an infant,
arise.

It is sunrise, yet not.
It was sunset, but not.
Sooner comes the Lord,

ready or not…
