ECLIPSE

sO hOT and humid
air heavy, smelling of greenness
sweating, awaiting...

The great event

excited and warm I stand close to you
seeking the knowledge of how to anticipate

the great event

the heat source so powerful
so magnificently intense
shading the force with thin mylar shields
not feeling the heat

a sense of cool arrives
like the damp cool of a summer morning
refrreshed, soothed
to the core

the core of the mighty star, our sun
our life source, our life force
blazing and blaring its presence, its essence
into space

cool, lifeless moon
night rock in the sky
cruising by at 2000 kilometers an hour
soothing shadow soaring
and then the night

birds silence each other
like in a dream
in a trance
a strange trip in another color

the freedom of looking up
with naked eyes
seeing the diamond ring sparkle and flare

hidden sun saying
hey you !
Blocking my view
can't laugh down
at zee little peeples !

eclipsed in romania
