"Summer Nights" (Sept 14,2020)


It was that fleeting hour of day when the Moon and Sun are high and bright at the same time.

Like many things in my life, these summer nights wouldn't last much longer. I sat quietly on a

bench in the back yard of a White ranched house owned by my second cousin. Talking to my

relatives about the eclipses I had witnessed thus far in life, it's awe inspiring when you see two

forces of nature working together to bring a spectacular view.

Summer Nights are good, but especially good, if spent in the Southern states of the United States.

In the country, no city lights, no city lamps, no lights from the businesses of life, just darkness;

You can look-up, and stare at the Stars of the MIlky Way Galaxy on a clear night.

Eclipses take part during certain part of the day and certain years apart from the current years.

Eclipses, when one body of matter crosses the path of another body of matter within the spheres

of Air and Space.

Summer Nights make you reflect on the Eclipses of life. Some Eclipses of life were good, and

some were bad. No matter the path of life, and which road it crosses when traveling, Summer

Nights will help you to reflect on the Eclipses of life.
