missed transits

Posted on June 6, 2012 by Susan L Daniels

Even though it took all day to crawl across
I missed the dark mote
crossing the sun’s eye
by moments

remembering after sunset
I wanted to watch for it

here’s hoping
the great-grandchildren
look up, at least once
in 2117

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?

    Awww, you missed it? We did because it was cloudy here then…wish you’d gotten to see it. Here’s to 2117 (I plan on being here, just sayin).

    Beautiful Susan, as always. Pictures in Poetry. You are a master!
