Staring up at the portent moon
as it turns into a crimson orb
shadowed by the earth.
Separate heavenly bodies
have aligned like two lovers
creating a whole new possibility.
So strange and powerful
the forces we think we understand
until we encounter them like this.
Eons ago dinosaurs looked up to see
this very same thing
cosmic time coming into line.

nice!
i missed that tonight, but what a great image of lovers looking at one another revealed/cloaked. very cool.
I like it.
horray!
i was back in Mtl last night (where we have eclipses, like, every three or four days, and they're waaaaay better and usually in French) and i was watching the whole eclipse go down and hoping some blogger was photographing/writing/drawing it for the rest of us.
thanks!
pfff, everyone knows the moon speaks Italian.
ah, la luna. la luna. just like in that movie... uh... moonstruck.
dinosaurs looked up to see the very same thing.
good call. bienfait.
p.s. wouldn't it be THREE lovers, and not TWO? because it involves earth, sun, moon, right?
a celestial threesome. hot.
Yep, thought of that after the fact. But think of it this way: the Earth is hiding the moon so they can carry on a bit of hanky-panky. The sun plays the part of the stodgy chaperon. (Not that I don't think the idea of a celestial threesome is tres chaud.)
