Oh, sweet surrender,
come love me again,
as I miss your hugs

I no longer get weepy,
eyed, except when I
hear a Willie Nelson
song.

My writing is prolific,
it's what it seems.
I'm a simple old man,
I'm not a machine.

I need a desk.
I need a lamp.
I need an envelope,
with a postage stamp.

Beautiful dreamer,
beautiful day.
My love for you,
will always stay.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

A mere 390 light-years away, Sun-like stars and future planetary systems are forming in the Rho Ophiuchi molecular cloud complex, the closest star-forming region to our fair planet. The James Webb Space Telescope's NIRCam peered into the nearby natal chaos to capture this infrared image at an inspiring scale. The spectacular cosmic snapshot was released to celebrate the successful first year of Webb's exploration of the Universe. The frame spans less than a light-year across the Rho Ophiuchi region and contains about 50 young stars. Brighter stars clearly sport Webb's characteristic pattern of diffraction spikes. Huge jets of shocked molecular hydrogen blasting from newborn stars are red in the image, with the large, yellowish dusty cavity carved out by the energetic young star near its center. Near some stars in the stunning image are shadows cast by their protoplanetary disks.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Why do some spiral galaxies have a ring around the center? Spiral galaxy NGC 1398 not only has a ring of pearly stars, gas and dust around its center, but a bar of stars and gas across its center, and spiral arms that appear like ribbons farther out. The featured deep image from Observatorio El Sauce in Chile shows the grand spiral galaxy in impressive detail. NGC 1398 lies about 65 million light years distant, meaning the light we see today left this galaxy when dinosaurs were disappearing from the Earth. The photogenic galaxy is visible with a small telescope toward the constellation of the Furnace (Fornax). The ring near the center is likely an expanding density wave of star formation, caused either by a gravitational encounter with another galaxy, or by the galaxy's own gravitational asymmetries.

It was in the far past,
when stars fell from the sky,
hitting the land and sea.
No recovery efforts, no reason why.

When I was young,
I knew a girl, called Sue.
She would never, ever,
do what I wanted to.

A scary thought,
both night and day.
Will you be here,
after I've gone away.

Ask not of me,
for favor free,
when you love me not,
though I am not thee.
