Michael Crow captured these super cool coronal wossnames at the bottom and lower right during totality on April 8, 2024, Mountain View, Arkansas.
Silvering light surrounds us as we wait for the moment Each subtle movement softly encroaching Like tentative lovers reaching for each other Sun and moon one flesh for this short while
Suddenly there's OtherWorldly twilight Suddenly night drops like a stone There's a ring in the sky, signaling silence Bringing the heart-light home
The towering trees quaking almost lit from within as the fading sun begins to soften for embrace Joining the dance of darkly shadowed Luna Sun and moon one flesh while we stand still
Suddenly there's a diamond on the surface For just a second, glowing like a star The ring in the sky becomes a crescent sun As normality shadows my heart
And now it's over And everything seems strange Ordinary, everyday What a letdown, what a shame We experienced the alien Found it like a prayer But normality eclipses what totality made
