Full Blood moon, haiku

 

 

deep red, March's full moon

is eclipsed by the earth

earth's heart is beating

 



 

 

Long ago and not that far away, I decided to watch a total eclipse of the moon. I, needless to say was much younger and it occurred during the summer months, can't remember which one. I was dazzelled by it's beauty,  was a long but "worth it" experience, wondering and just silently melding with my thoughts. Listening to the sounds of the night as i sat in my lawn chair in awe of the universe.  I was grateful for my large container of ----believe it was called "Skin so Soft", I appreciated it, the mosquitos didn't. 

If you are thinking of watching the entirety,it will take some time.   

Check to see when it begins, the complete eclipse does cover a few hours.   In my area totality begins at about  2:30 am, is expected to last for 60= min   This is when the moon will take on the rusty blood-like color{ my word for the color},  This coloring , according to NASA, comes from the glow of the sunsets and sunrises on Earth.
