There are sometimes,
in this life we lead,
where reality feeds,
into a fantasy.

The sands trickle quickly,
through the hourglass flask,
as our life slowly expires,
just like any other daily task.

"About one in seven (14%) adults under 35  think daily sunscreen use is more harmful to the skin than direct sun exposure"

"Nearly a quarter (23%) believe drinking water and staying hydrated prevents a sunburn," Read the National survey by the Orlando Health Cancer Institute➜

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Why does Comet Pons-Brooks now have tails pointing in opposite directions? The most spectacular tail is the blue-glowing ion tail that is visible flowing down the image. The ion tail is pushed directly out from the Sun by the solar wind. On the upper right is the glowing central coma of Comet 12P/Pons–Brooks. Fanning out from the coma, mostly to the left, is the comet's dust tail. Pushed out and slowed down by the pressure of sunlight, the dust tail tends to trail the comet along its orbit and, from some viewing angles, can appear opposite to the ion tail. The distant, bright star Alpha Leporis is seen at the bottom of the featured image captured last week from Namibia. Two days ago, the comet passed its closest to the Earth and is now best visible from southern skies as it dims and glides back to the outer Solar System.

Bare was the wagon,
behind the old shed.
The shed where we met,
to make love instead.

Going to another venue,
is what we should do,
before I find out,
I am crazy for you.

when the winds of time,
pass by our way,
would it be better if
I went away.

Better for you,
when I'm no longer here,
or if that's not the case,
I'll just disappear.

Reflections about mornings,

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Magnificent island universe NGC 2403 stands within the boundaries of the long-necked constellation Camelopardalis. Some 10 million light-years distant and about 50,000 light-years across, the spiral galaxy also seems to have more than its fair share of giant star forming HII regions, marked by the telltale reddish glow of atomic hydrogen gas. The giant HII regions are energized by clusters of hot, massive stars that explode as bright supernovae at the end of their short and furious lives. A member of the M81 group of galaxies, NGC 2403 closely resembles a galaxy in our own local galaxy group with an abundance of star forming regions, M33, the Triangulum Galaxy. Spiky in appearance, bright stars in this portrait of NGC 2403 are in the foreground, within our own Milky Way. Also in the foreground of the deep, wide-field, telescopic image are the Milky Way's dim and dusty interstellar clouds also known as galactic cirrus or integrated flux nebulae. But faint features that seem to extend from NGC 2403 itself are likely tidal stellar streams drawn out by gravitational interactions with neighboring galaxies.

Fate plays a role
when two people,
randomly become
attracted to each other.

My feelings, about writing,
starting to become a big bore.
I don't know if,
I can write anymore.

Writing has helped me,
me navigate my loss, before.
The truth is, I don't know,
if I want to write anymore.
