Have I Asked You

Have I asked you before,
if you wanted to go,
to the first performance,
of a brother, travelling show?

The music is unique,
in a peculiar way,
non rhyming words,
were asked not to stay.

Lessons were learned,
in the performance room,
don't allow bass drums,
to go Boom! Boom! Boom!

The windows rattled,
a breaking of glass,
crashing to the floor,
a performance blast.

On gossamer wings,
it states in a poem,
flying to somewhere,'
going back home.

The loneliest song,
I've ever heard,
the whispering voice
of a chirp less bird.

listening to a
very calm music
as i lay down myself
to sleep
i have traveled much
half-awake
half-asleep
in colored lands
scented with roses
above calm oceans
and peaceful lands
with my gossamer
wings.

Thank you. That is wonderful poetry.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Why is Polaris called the North Star? First, Polaris is the nearest bright star toward the north spin axis of the Earth. Therefore, as the Earth turns, stars appear to revolve around Polaris, but Polaris itself always stays in the same northerly direction -- making it the North Star. Since no bright star is near the south spin axis of the Earth, there is currently no bright South Star. Thousands of years ago, Earth's spin axis pointed in a slightly different direction so that Vega was the North Star. Although Polaris is not the brightest star on the sky, it is easily located because it is nearly aligned with two stars in the cup of the Big Dipper. Polaris is near the center of the eight-degree wide featured image, a digital composite of hundreds of exposures that brings out faint gas and dust of the Integrated Flux Nebula (IFN) all over the frame as well as the globular star cluster NGC 188 on the far left. The surface of Cepheid Polaris slowly pulsates, causing the famous star to change its brightness by a few percent over the course of a few days. Explore Your Universe: Random APOD Generator
