Blood Moon

Wonders in the sky
Reasons to marvel how and why
Obviously creation really exists
Senses acknowledges what the eyes see
Still the eternal question rises
How came it all to be

The scholar gives one possible answer
Explaining in a way even more plausible
Than the pastor or preacher
The bible’s account can be believed
But it must have all begun
With the now famous big bang

I do not pretend to understand astronomy
The study of the heavens makes no sense to me
I am standing on earth while looking at the moon
While the earth passes between the moon and the sun
Yet another time I am told 
That the moon passes between the earth and the sun
Both sun and moon remain in the sky

Covering millions of miles in their circuits
Yet not deviating an inch from their courses
Precise and not faltering for the minutest second
So that a thousand years in the future
It can be predicted when their paths will overlap

Wonders in the sky
Did you come about by the big bang?
Every so often in times like these
We turn to the bible for answers

(I stayed outside in South Florida hoping to see the famous blood moon. I did not see the the color change and maybe my cellphone was playing tricks on me. below is what my cellphone captured about halfway through the eclipse of the moon on 9/27/2015.
