True Wonders Of The Universe

Eclipse - What Is Seen In The Light

Events that can obscure the travel of light

Celestial bodies conceal illumination

Leaving for moments, us filled with wonder and delight

In celebration, of sorts, with earth in her creations

Pressing pause on the belief, that we were ever in control

Smaller than we ever wanted to believe

Evidence perhaps, that we are more than what is seen, deeper still the complete oneness of a soul

inspirational

    Smaller than we ever wanted to believe. Beautifully Done Kelli.

    "Pressing pause on the belief, that we were ever in control" is a great line Kelli, and one ties in with the idea of people seeing eclipses as something significant. Nicely done!

    Absolutely lovely.

  • This was very profound! Loved your Acrostric!

  • And all the world shall pause with awe, causing us to consider. Loving all of this, Kelli, but especially how you end it. Something of a "to be continued" for each of us to contemplate.

    That's one way of looking at an eclipse. Good work.
