The power of the internet and global newspapers. The talk of eclipse. The excitement of eclipse.

A case of hype?

My call …

I have memories of an eclipse over a decade ago.  The only one I have been part of.  I cannot remember whether a full eclipse or not.  I cannot remember how long although my memory says seconds.

A case of hype?

Your call …

.

Eerie. Chilling.
Chilling outside.  Chilling inside.
Up there.  In the “infinity”.
This infinity so close.

This infinity so close.
An orb of sun … A lump of moon … 
An oasis of green and blue garden … 
And me.

This infinity so close.
And yet this infinity cannot be.
Cannot be so close for it must be …
Infinite.

Light.  Turned to gloom.
Warmth.  Switched right down.
Day. Now not night nor proper day.
This infinity is so close.

This infinity so close.
An orb of sun … A lump of moon.
An oasis of green and blue garden … 

And me.

Quite eerie to me.
Is my eclipse memory
