Analysis of Eclipse
Arman Hoque 1977 (Winnipeg)
The sky is bright, nice sunny day
The moon so often passes this way
Not so often, it’s really quite rare
When the line of obscurity is there.
A solar eclipse used to test people’s faith,
In 2024, it occurred on April 8th.
A glimpse of the moon in the middle of the day;
Nights embrace at 3pm, don’t look at it - look away.
