Here I Am
• 01/10/24 at 09:58PM •Here I stand,
all dressed in black,
thinking I'm the reincarnation,
of Johnny Cash.
Boots on my feet,
black hat on my head,
when someone yelled,
"Hey, Johnny is dead.
I was shocked
when I heard the news.
I went to happy hour,
scarfing down some booze.

Arrival Time
• 01/10/24 at 09:52PM •It was early in the morning,
about half past five.
I was running on empty,
trying to stay alive.
I received a call saying,
Hey, I think you are late,
for this important event,
your first blind date.
Wait a minute, I said,
before he hung up the phone,
"Who is this person? am I
to go all alone?"
He said of course you are,
is that too hard to understand?
Well, I went where I was told to,
and it was my very first one-night stand.
If you've read this far,
then you know I'm
not talking about me,
merely writing about a fantasy
Sweet
• 01/10/24 at 09:43PM •Sweet she was
like no one I've met.
She was very special,
she will be hard to forget.
Danced with her once,
Twas like walking a trail.
I knew all the moves,
yet I still failed.
Failed to capture
a heart so sweet.
Wish I had a do over,
for now, I must retreat.
Stars Collided
• 01/10/24 at 09:35PM •Stars collided,
in daylight, bright,
with so much force,
day turned to night.
The Light, the Dark, and the Dusty • 01/10/24
• 01/10/24 at 12:16PM •NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:
This colorful skyscape spans about three full moons across nebula rich starfields along the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy toward the royal northern constellation Cepheus. Near the edge of the region's massive molecular cloud some 2,400 light-years away, bright reddish emission region Sharpless (Sh)2-155 is at the center of the frame, also known as the Cave Nebula. About 10 light-years across the cosmic cave's bright walls of gas are ionized by ultraviolet light from the hot young stars around it. Dusty bluish reflection nebulae, like vdB 155 at the left, and dense obscuring clouds of dust also abound on the interstellar canvas. Astronomical explorations have revealed other dramatic signs of star formation, including the bright reddish fleck of Herbig-Haro (HH) 168. At the upper left in the frame, the Herbig-Haro object emission is generated by energetic jets from a newborn star.

A New Day Dawns
• 01/10/24 at 03:14AM •A new day dawns,
a bright new day.
Forget the sadness,
Begin a new way.
Scan the horizon.
soak in the Sun.
A positive beginning,
You are the one.
Watch for tomorrow,
you're still the one.
Life will be better,
as you've just begun.
It is Now Time
• 01/10/24 at 03:14AM •It is now time,
to begin anew.
Don't rely on others.
Do what you do.
Reach out to your friends,
surround yourself with joy.
Find the person for you,
matters not who you employ.
A Flash of Light
• 01/10/24 at 03:13AM •A flash of light,
a rumbling noise,
stay away from me,
with your false joys.
Begone with you,
one more time,
for I don't need,
another mime.
I Feel a Tightness
• 01/10/24 at 03:13AM •I feel a tightness,
encircling my head.
I didn't know I was
now brain dead.
What happens,
when thoughts collide?
What's the outcome?
You must decide.
Word of the Day 01/10/24: rejuvenate
• 01/10/24 at 02:26AM •Across the Broad Plain
• 01/09/24 at 10:18PM •Across the broad plain,
of a solitary mind,
memories become elusive,
extremely hard to find.
Searching, ever searching,
for elusive thoughts abound.
Look in every cranny,
until memories are found.
