we watch the blue sky
turn into midnight blue
as the moon pass the sun
holding hands we take in
the beauty of the universe
imprinting it into memory
time seemed to stand still
then the sky lightens and
the sun returns to our faces
- Written for dVerse Poetics: Writing "something beautiful". This poem was inspired by the artwork "The Eclipse" (1970) by artist Alma Thomas, Smitsonian American Art Museum.
Such a beautiful event it was. Love it when time stand still and the sun returns to our faces.
