A sadness,
overcomes us,
when a child dies.

What tragedy
awaits us.
How must we
grieve?

My heart breaks,
for this sadness,
which you will endure.
May God bless you.

Your family,
in this, your
time needed,
to love her more.

No wind this morning,
it's cool outside the door,
perhaps it won't rain.
We don't need any more.

I have no right
to think like I do.
I only know,
I am attracted to you.

I'm sick with myself,
for thoughts lain,
deeply rooted within,
my sick brain.

The best thing to
do right now is to
keep our distance.
I wish I knew how.

What a nightmare
my stupidity must be.
You should cut and run
setting yourself free.

From out the mass,
of the thundering herd,
there appeared a stranger.
He couldn't be heard.

Just one of many,
alone in the World.
All by himself,
not even a girl.

If someone,
ask me to dance, again,
I will respond, "I don't
know where to begin."

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Are these two galaxies really attracted to each other? Yes, gravitationally, and the result appears as an enormous iconic heart -- at least for now. Pictured is the pair of galaxies cataloged as NGC 4038 and NGC 4039,known as the Antennae Galaxies. Because they are only 60 million light years away, close by intergalactic standards, the pair is one of the best studied interacting galaxies on the night sky. Their strong attraction began about a billion years ago when they passed unusually close to each other. As the two galaxies interact, their stars rarely collide, but new stars are formed when their interstellar gases crash together. Some new stars have already formed, for example, in the long antennae seen extending out from the sides of the dancing duo. By the time the galaxy merger is complete, likely over a billion years from now, billions of new stars may have formed. Open Science: Browse 3,300+ codes in the Astrophysics Source Code Library

I'm at a point in my life where,
I need to fall on my sword,
due to the confusion in this state,
which is not a great award.

I have been married so long,
I know not how to behave,
or even what is good behavior,
not to mention being brave.

I don't recall many things, such,
as how to be romantic,
it's causing me frustration,
to the point, I might panic.

An occasional event,
during a mind on the run.
Running to daylight,
before the night is done.

Avoidance is a word,
we can use every day.
When you avoid happenings,
you drive the risk away.

Proactive, what it is to be,
but if you are reactive,
truly, life may follow you,
if you believe.

You are alive, I said,
as I looked out the door.
My beloved stood before me, saying,
"I'm not. I'm not here anymore."
