When Love Says
• 08/16/24 at 06:53AM •When love says, its last goodbye,
when your lover has left you to die.
What is your next recourse?
Deal with your grief, of course.
When love says, its last goodbye,
when your lover has left you to die.
What is your next recourse?
Deal with your grief, of course.
What light shines, through
the window, far?
Me thinks it maybe
the Northern Star.
A star which guides,
our life at night,
to assure we all,
will live just right.
When the Whippoorwill calls,
the time will be when,
we will see the World change,
over and over again.
The Whippoorwill calls,
should set up an alarm,
about the attention is ready,
for her who our Democracy harm.
Insurrectionists no matter,
what you may say,
Traitors to our Government,
in every waking way.
If you believe in this country,
and the Democracy, you see,
then it's time to take action,
and not the criminal way.
A jagged edge,
along the screen,
Broken glass,
at the scene.
What has happened,
where were we,
when all the rats,
began to flee.
Take back our country,
from the Sedonistic crowd.
Don't be quiet,
speak out loud.
If you care,
for this, your land,
we will love to take
a stronger stand.
Emotions are a wonderful thing
for they release and will bring,
deep feelings of love or fear,
when an unknown presence is near.
When the tears fall
like a leaf from a tree,
isn't it a wonder,
that we can see?
Tears may flow
from our eyes,
to a bare cheek.
It's an emotional release,
not because we are weak.
Some may hold, a tear or two.
Others weep easily, like me and you.
It is not a weakness, don't you see,
as it may help retain your sanity.
There are times when
circumstance triggers action.
Be careful as timing is a factor,
to consider, before pulling the trigger.
NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:
Bright Mars and even brighter Jupiter are in close conjunction just above the pine trees in this post-midnight skyscape from Vallentuna, Sweden. Taken on August 12 during a geomagnetic storm, the snapshot records the glow of aurora borealis or northern lights, beaming from the left side of the frame. Of course on that date Perseid meteors rained through planet Earth's skies, grains of dust from the shower's parent, periodic comet Swift-Tuttle. The meteor streak at the upper right is a Perseid plowing through the atmosphere at about 60 kilometers per second. Also well-known in in Earth's night sky, the bright Pleides star cluster shines below the Perseid meteor streak. In Greek myth, the Pleiades were seven daughters of the astronomical titan Atlas and sea-nymph Pleione. The Pleiades and their parents' names are given to the cluster's nine brightest stars.

The winds of August,
will soon come to call.
The winds of August,
in the north, is called Fall.
Autumn, the season between,
Summer and Winter.
The equinox, September 21-22,
ending the 21-22nd of December.
When the winds of Autumn,
began to blow,
the days grow shorter,
this much I know.
A time to reflect, the change
in our lives, so fine,
when things we love,
may turn sublime.
Long may the winds of autumn,
continue to Fall,
for it is a favorite season,
of change for all.
A small fire,
with embers bright,
a perfect place to
contemplate tonight.
NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:
This was an unusual night. For one thing, the night sky of August 11 and 12, earlier this week, occurred near the peak of the annual Perseid Meteor Shower. Therefore, meteors streaked across the dark night as small bits cast off from Comet Swift-Tuttle came crashing into the Earth's atmosphere. Even more unusually, for central Germany at least, the night sky glowed purple. The red-blue hue was due to aurora caused by an explosion of particles from the Sun a few days before. This auroral storm was so intense that it was seen as far south as Texas and Italy, in Earth's northern hemisphere. The featured image composite was built from 7 exposures taken over 26 minutes from Ense, Germany. The Perseids occur predictably every August, but auroras visible this far south are more unusual and less predictable. Gallery: Perseid Meteor Shower 2024 and Aurorae
