As darkness fell, the crickets sang
Birds fell silent, nothing rang
Just the rustle of leafy trees
Bowing to the gentle breeze
A coolness in the air was felt
As suddenly, the sun would melt
Into one, when the moon did cover
Taking her, as his daytime lover

You shadowed my light, almost on cue
Blocked the rays that shone just so
Seized the moment, however brief
To hide that which I may never know
Eclipsed, I remained in the dark
Fighting my way through the pitch
Turned my face, away from the sight
As you easily captured, bewitched
Could I reclaim the moment I needed
To describe this ethereal sensation
The return of the light, in the daytime sky
To which I pray, is our Heavenly salvation

Although it became quite misty, I was able to get some shots of last night’s penumbral lunar eclipse. I hope you enjoy 🙂
This is the full moon, known as the Snow Moon, coming up over the mountain, roughly 5:50PM EST 2/10/17
The full moon with a subtle sign of the eclipse. Look lower left corner to see the Earth’s shadow. Approx: 6:25 PM EST 2/10/17
It was getting very hazy but you can still see the eclipse partially covering the left side of the moon. Approx: 7:15PM EST 2/10/17
While the haze still lingered, you can now see the soft shadow of the penumbral eclipse of the full moon. Approx: 7:50 PM EST 2/10/17
The last picture isn’t so great but it still shows the amazing beauty of our celestial bodies. ❤

I shall gaze upon the sky
Memorized by light
Watch it slowly disappear
Three shadows in the night
Yellow fades to darkness
Changing into red
Three orbs, a visual spectacle
Earth, Moon and Sun
Together are bled
Aligned, a Heavenly festival

Again you masked your face to me
Hidden behind the glare of fire
Lost somewhere between Earth
And the skies that gather your light
A child’s game of Hide and Seek
Taunting me to find you
Until, at last, you can no longer hide
Revealing yourself as you fade into morn
This mornings total lunar eclipse was the shortest of the century, lasting a mere five minutes long.
