Nineveh

Nineveh *
*Deep I have fallen 
    eyelids leaden with sleep
       just a hole to crawl in 
         and rest my feet  *
           drifting into a slumber  *
             Brief moments under
                ‘Neath the faraway pillars 
                   of our galaxy, there young stars  *
                      form from dust, born to shine bright
                        * I lie on the crust with deliverance 

                                 *Another celestial experience                                                                                                                
                                     about to unfold holds me captive                                                                                                              
                                        behold the Ninevh Eclipse                                                                                                            
                                          Ready for cosmic forces, I sigh     * 
                                             A soft lilting voice from my lips
                                                I am emotionally reactive                                                                                                                             
                                                             *
                                                                Day’s azure sky darkened                                                                                           
                                                             Misty purple mountain tops dim
                                                           Epiphanic bliss on this dusky night
                                                         To the breeze my heart’s harkened 
                                                       Whispering winds leave no trace
                                                     Unseen to the naked eye,
                                                   echoing back I’m here, to the
                                                 blackened sacred sky   *
                                                                     *
                                              Just hours ago I 
                                            trekked the desert landscape,
                                          encountered a grassy knoll suited
                                        for the voyage and galactic escape
                                      An epochal event, science enigmatic
                                   Time paradox sans, well spent    *
                                                       *
                                  Silvery moon has stolen golden sun
                                    Total eclipse upon me, twilight’s begun
                                       Time elapsed suspending orange orbs aglow                                                                                                                                                                                                  
                                          Unfazed, I’ve glimpsed UFOs!   *
                                             Moon aligns with Sun’s bright face
                                                *
                                           The milky moon obscures 
                                         Dubbed Period of Totality                                                                          
                                     *Moments gone, then back to normality 
                                     I safely peer boldly up to the shrouded star
                                   By far heaven’s most stellar gift to me
                                 The Path of Totality *
                               With heels clicking, no place I’d rather be                                                                                                                         
                             than swimming in twilight’s radiant show 
                           in *Descartes’s Twilight Zone
