The day of the eclipse

We drove all night long to go see the solar eclipse
The kids were peacefully asleep in the rear seat
 At dawn we finally reached the promontory
 Many had set up camp to get together here
 Such as the hot coffee, the ambience was friendly

 This is a day that I will always remember
 Not the eclipse itself, but this magic moment
 All these unknown people gathered on a hilltop
 Who came from several lives and from different places
 Just together to share few seconds of a dream.

 When darkness plunged hill in the supernatural
 all admiring glances converged into a beam
 as if they recovered inner joy and wonder
 as children reach out to catch the moon in the sky
 or to catch the boats on the ocean horizon
 because they have not yet learned the earthly limits

 Rise by feeling yourself and feeling the others
 And progress pursuing the same goal together
 Like on this holy hill, the day of the eclipse
 All these people gathered turned towards the heavens
 All these people looking in the same direction
