Black is the coal.
White is the Snow.
Life is at a standstill.
I have no place to go.
The road to Perdition,
is the slow road I know well.
A well travelled road,
leading straight to Hell.

"The Devils is in the details"
he says as he sloshes paint,
with broad brush strokes,
upon the bare wall,
not being careful at all,
but having the sense to
mask the trim and to place
a drop cloth under the area
he is now painting.

A short, written note
about a missing goat,
which cannot be found,
but was spotted aground.
It's where it laid,
after the last parade.
Why write of things,
which our memory brings?
It means nothing to
any, certainly not you.
Using just four words,
is not so absurd,
I would just say,
have a good day.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Recorded during 2017, timelapse sequences from the International Space Station are compiled in this serene video of planet Earth at Night. Fans of low Earth orbit can start by enjoying the view as green and red aurora borealis slather up the sky. The night scene tracks from northwest to southeast across North America, toward the Gulf of Mexico and the Florida coast. A second sequence follows European city lights, crosses the Mediterranean Sea, and passes over a bright Nile river in northern Africa. Seen from the orbital outpost, erratic flashes of lightning appear in thunder storms below and stars rise above the planet's curved horizon through a faint atmospheric airglow. Of course, from home you can always check out the vital signs of Planet Earth Now. Celebrate: Earth Day

I want to run,
I want to hide,
for this life is just,
a one way ride.
Enjoy yourself,
when you can.
Remember you don't
need a new plan.

Why must I write
these words on this day,
when I no longer
care about what I say?

Our life passes by,
quick, like a wink.
Keep your eyes open,
don't even blink,
words won't be there.
What do you think?

How can you explain the joy felt,
when you see an old friend?
I would like to bottle it up,
and take a small sup,
to bring back the elation
once again.

You are a wild one,
you most certainly are,
for your eyes reflect,
what you see
and I can tell there
is no interest in me.
This is good news, as I see
for I am not interested in thee.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

No sudden, sharp boundary marks the passage of day into night in this gorgeous view of ocean and clouds over our fair planet Earth. Instead, the shadow line or terminator is diffuse and shows the gradual transition to darkness we experience as twilight. With the Sun illuminating the scene from the right, the cloud tops reflect gently reddened sunlight filtered through the dusty troposphere, the lowest layer of the planet's nurturing atmosphere. A clear high altitude layer, visible along the dayside's upper edge, scatters blue sunlight and fades into the blackness of space. This picture was taken in June of 2001 from the International Space Station orbiting at an altitude of 211 nautical miles. But you can check out the vital signs of Planet Earth Now.
