Full moon

I was driving towards home, down ring road, from office, over the lajpath bridge maybe. When i am at the top of that bridge, and generally stuck in traffic, i amuse my self by watching the planes overhead. In the dark night i would only be able to see the headlight, but as it would approach closer, right when it is right in front of my car and just about to cross over above me, i would see the beam of the headlight, and then the body, just an outline because of the red light on the base of the plane and then it would be gone. So yesterday, when i was on the same spot, or about to reach that spot, i got distracted from my usual sport of watching at the headlight in the sky, due to the full moon yesterday. The bright white luminance of the full moon was the light that captivates my eye at any given point of time. And then towards the right of the full moon, i saw another headlight. And i sat mesmerised when slowly the headlight came closer, becoming bigger and bigger, till it crossed right in front og the moon, the white luminescent moon, shining its light on the plane, so that for that one second of time, i could see the plane in its full majesty with the moon right behind. The eclipse of the moon with the plane. Oh what a sight. Beautiful it was. And sadly, no camera to capture that one second.
So i thought i should do it with my words.
