The dark times in our lives can overwhelm, and leave us grasping for solutions. And these can be a long time coming.
The darkness of an eclipse also seems to blanket permanently. But it isn’t, and lifts after a moment. May this haiku lift in dark times.

Eclipse, dim but fierce
Dark covers the light of day-
Lasts only a moment.

Such a wonderful reminder for dark times. ♥️
So much hope in so few words 😁
I'll be book marking this one. Really does remind us to keep going. "Darkness is but a passing shadow" but in beautiful haiku.
Beautiful and encouraging haiku, Michelle
Dim but fierce, I especially loved that!
The total eclipse is beautiful, though. I was lucky enough to see one this year back in May. A great verse, Michelle!
Beautiful 😍
