A mesmerising spell

Once in a lifetime experience! That’s all I can say about it. I got up at about 6 am, the sky was just as it should be post dawn. It was a bit cloudy, but I could see the sun in the horizon. I was waiting eagerly for the moon to show up and cover the sun. It did. I could see the crescent shape of the moon crawling over the sun. I was wearing shades, but still had a fear, whether it will suffice or not, but surprisingly it did. It was just a matter of a few minutes. The moon started covering the sun , and I swear what a beauty it was. Slowly, the moon covered the full face of the sun, and I could see the corona. And just after a few seconds, the diamond ring. The same as I had read, and seen in pics. It was right in front of my eyes. The whole sky had become dark. And then there was a second dawn. The moon started shifting its position and the sky got its color back. I put off the shades, and was lost in the mesmerizing beauty of it.
