It was a good day.
The country united in awe,
Remembering how insignificant
we are in the Universal
scheme of things.
A rare event,
this star and moon,
peeking through the atmosphere,
hidden at first in the fog,
finally satisfying.
Eclipsing the pain
of a planet in turmoil,
where basic human civility wanes;
and still it tilts on its axis
towards love.
