I had an unexpected request yesterday.
I was asked to write little odes to include
in envelopes for the mothers residing
at this Facility.
Such an honor.
I wrote about nineteen separate vignettes.
I am in the process of handwriting
on personal cards with envelopes.
I you are interested in seeing them
I will print them tomorrow.
Thank you

The Sun is out this morning,
no apparent wind
or Spring breeze.
No wafting wind,
shaking the trees.

I have walked this path
of life before,
of hidden byways,
shady nooks, and more.

Do you remember,
those moments past,
when we thought
our memories would always last?

I discovered last night,
my beloved, knows how to punch.
5 jabs to the left ribs.
Fortunately, she has no power.
This morning a staff member,
asked my why, my right eye was
black. Don't recall getting hit in
the face but anger escalated quickly.
I wish I knew what I did which she
didn't like as I tire of getting hit and
sworn at. I know she won't remember.
I am a grown man, so these things
shouldn't affect me, but they do.
I am not upset, just saddened.
I do still love her

Shameful behavior, of a lost soul.
Could I be strong handling this quest?
Searching for all to see,
I must find only the best.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Galaxies are fascinating. In galaxies, gravity alone holds together massive collections of stars, dust, interstellar gas, stellar remnants and dark matter. Pictured is NGC 5128, better known as Centaurus A. Cen A is the fifth brightest galaxy on the sky and is located at a distance of about 12 million light years from Earth. The warped shape of Cen A is the result of a merger between an elliptical and a spiral galaxy. Its active galactic nucleus harbors a supermassive black hole that is about 55 million times more massive than our Sun. This central black hole ejects a fast jet visible in both radio and X-ray light. Filaments of the jet are visible in red in the upper left. New observations by the Event Horizon Telescope have revealed a brightening of the jet only towards its edges -- but for reasons that are currently unknown and an active topic of research. At NASA it's: Black Hole Week

If I tell you tomorrow,
about the love's lost,
will you tell me stories,
no matter the cost?

A day late,
a dollar short.
Some of plans,
we must abort.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Why are there so many flat rocks on Mars? Some views of plains and hills on Mars show many rocks that are unusually flat when compared to rocks on Earth. One reason for this is a process that is common to both Mars and Earth: erosion. The carbon-dioxide wind on Mars can act like sandpaper when it blows around gritty Martian sand. This sand can create differential erosion, smoothing over some rocks, while wearing down the tops of other long-exposed stones. The featured image capturing several hills covered with flat-topped rocks was taken last month by NASA's Curiosity Rover on Mars. This robotic rover has now been rolling across Mars for ten years and has helped uncover many details of the wet and windy past of Earth's planetary neighbor. After taking this and other images, Curiosity carefully navigated stones and slippery sand to climb up Marker Band Valley.

I am so pathetic,
searching for a friend,
to talk about life,
until our time ends.
