I live in the last place on North America where the totality of the eclipse will overshadow, and darkness will cover this land for a moment. My understanding is that the time of darkening, darkness, and relighting will be about 3 hours.
With safety glasses in hand, we’re hoping that the skies will be clear – though storms are predicted. Eyes will be covered but hearts will be exposed. With all the “science” abounding about a total eclipse, my spirit is compelled to dwell upon the day my savior died. Creation bows to its Creator. Praise be to God.
45 From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. 46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,[a] lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”). Matthew 27:45-46
When Light fades
And darkness reigns
The briefest of time will pass
For as Light rises
Darkness is overcome
With a glimpse
of a tiny ray

Unwarranted darkness is known to have caused turpitude amongst humans. You have surely wielded your pen to invoke an existential condition. Have you read Asimov’s ‘Nightfall’?
