When words I write,
come out to play,
thoughts keep coming.
What do I say?

There are no thoughts,
on this day,
except my cramped hand,
telling them to go away.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Brilliant, blue, supergiant star Rigel marks the foot of Orion the Hunter in planet Earth's night. Designated Beta Orionis, it's at the center of this remarkably deep and wide field of view. Rigel's blue color indicates that it is much hotter than its rival supergiant in Orion the yellowish Betelgeuse (Alpha Orionis), though both stars are massive enough to eventually end their days as core collapse supernovae. Some 860 light-years away, Rigel is hotter than the Sun too and extends to about 74 times the solar radius. That's about the size of the orbit of Mercury. In the 10 degree wide frame toward the nebula rich constellation, the Orion Nebula is at the upper left. To the right of Rigel and illuminated by its brilliant blue starlight lies the dusty Witch Head Nebula. Rigel is part of a multiple star system, though its companion stars are much fainter.

Life was good,
nothing to do.
We met
and became, two.

Years went by,
we moved a few
times, in the years.
We had boys, two.

Now life, has passed,
after a sickness or two.
No longer me and you.

You live alone,
I am alone, too,
but we still say,
I love you.

"Grief is love"
a titled book states.
Perhaps it, is,
I wouldn't know.

While I love,
I still won't stay,
when my true one,
tells me to go away.

Must I wait for you,
after all these years?
Must I keep smiling,
when shedding tears?

The icy fingers
of Winter's end,
pry into a Spring,
where snow descends.

The grass was wet,
with new fallen snow.
Please leave us Winter,
do it now, just go.

Wish I could,
with all my might,
be with you,
all day and night.

You are my star,
the only one.
I am yours,
'til my life is done.

What kind of fool,
do you think, I'd be,
if I gave up,
with no fuss, silently?

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Relativity's Terran 1 Rocket is mostly 3D-printed. It burns a cryogenic rocket fuel composed of liquid methane and liquid oxygen (methalox). In this close-up of a Terran 1 launch on the night of March 22 from Cape Canaveral, icy chunks fall through the stunning frame as intense blue exhaust streams from its nine Aeon 1 engines. In a largely successful flight the inovative rocket achieved main engine cutoff and stage separation but fell short of orbit after an anomaly at the beginning of its second stage flight. Of course this Terran 1 rocket was never intended to travel to Mars. Still, the methane and liquid oxygen components of its methalox fuel can be made solely from materials found on the Red Planet. Methalox manufactured on Mars could be used as fuel for rockets returning to planet Earth.

A strange sound,
addled my brain.
My ears ringing,
I heard this refrain.

Stop the noise,
I heard someone sing,
those bells are paper,
they won't ring.
