Solar Eclipse

Strange shaded world

Egrets top the trees as audience to the quiet interlude

Songbirds rest their voices for a spell to wonder at this oddity

The only one in their lifetime

Luminance withheld but for moments

Stillness pervades as if sound is shaded too

The sky assumes a slightly softer hue of blue

As orange gives over to whiteness

The moon passes through

And the world resumes as before

But with a different likeness
