Happy Saturday, pd! What a lovely way to see the eclipse. Were you in its physical path? Whether you were or not, you captured it beautifully in your poem. I was fortunate enough to see the eclipse through totality. It brought my neighbors together for the first time since I was as in high school. But as you describe in your post, we soon drifted apart to our separate paths.
Amazing work, my friend ❤️🔥❤️
