It's so beautiful. We can't explain how fast it happens and how it can just go dark. Nature is breathtaking. Great one Sara.

Dear sara, did you see the solar eclipse yet? Is it time for that yet? Im so intrigued and iv read so much about it. I think it is only seen for your end? I hope you got to experience it and youv written so well on it as always poetic soul. Your words flow very well. Always the light shines back again, i feel hope and faith emanating through your words. Sending you light

thanks, dearest Ink, for your comment about my words. (Hope and faith are important to me.) Yes we witnessed the eclipse...patiently watching and waiting for the moment of totality...excitement at first but then a feeling of quiet awe washed over us. A life-defining moment. Hard to explain the impact of witnessing the event. Have a pleasant, hugs, Sara

Good to see you again, John. Appreciate your visit and comments. Fingers crossed that we want have too much cloud cover this afternoon. Totality in our part of Texas is about 1:45 p.m. Fingers crossed. Enjoy your Monday, Sara

Fabulous short poem. A great metaphor of love when some tiff takes place. Lovely poetry.

Awesome, Sara. Quite delightful, and the picture is overwhelming, I'm over the moon! I hear it's going to rain there tomorrow. Sad for those coming. ;)

Thank you for visiting and commenting, Anaya. I'm grateful that you found my poem and picture delightful. Yes, rain is scheduled here but isn't supposed to arrive until this evening. Forecast changed thank goodness. We should experience totality here around 1:45 p.m. Hubby and I have our special glasses and we're ready. Wishing you a pleasant day, hugs, Sara
