totality

when you’re in the path of a total eclipse,

the day becomes night, and the temperature dips;

the stars all come out, as the moon and the sun

embrace one another — becoming as one.

and in some weird way, it touches your soul

when the sun in the sky becomes a black hole,

it’s so surreal — yet a beautiful thing —

and it ends with a kiss and a diamond ring.

  6. This is so beautiful and effortless – I had a similar vision of the eclipse as ring, once, but my poem didn’t turn out as well – this is really lovely

      1. Aw, Michael, thank you, I do appreciate that… it’s true I was battling that critic pretty hard at the time… I might search up the poem and see how it looks with fresh eyes. Anyway, this poem of yours is simply divine.
