I remember lessons
from my old man;
When using a Crescent wrench,
use the palm of your hand,
for when the wrench slips
as it often will do,
you spare barking your knuckles.
Which I have done quite a few
times in this long life.

Alone on a hillside on a Fall day,
hoping a deer might come my way.
I sat with my back to a large tree,
when the Sun rose, shining on me.
I struggled hard to stay awake
but not on this day, a nap I did take.
I'm not sure of just how
long I slept by that big tree.
When I awoke an animal was looking at me.
Rubbing my eyes, using the back of my hand,
thinking, at last it was the promised land.
No such luck and I'm unsure of how;
I was looking into the eyes of dairy cow.

Will you stay with me,
on this darkest day?
If you do, then we'll
lose our troubles far away.

A silver pathway to the stars,
be sure to turn left at Venus and Mars.
Travel this path, which is very long,
humming "Stairway to Heaven", a song.
A dream is the only place to try
flying through the bluest of sky.
I finally awake on this beautiful morn,
going back to the day I was born.
Remember that place? No, not at all,
but was told it was a table out in the hall.
No doctor present none you could see;
it was a midwife that delivered me.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

These people are not in danger. What is coming down from the left is just the Moon, far in the distance. Luna appears so large here because she is being photographed through a telescopic lens. What is moving is mostly the Earth, whose spin causes the Moon to slowly disappear behind Mount Teide, a volcano in the Canary Islands off the northwest coast of Africa. The people pictured are 16 kilometers away and many are facing the camera because they are watching the Sun rise behind the photographer. It is not a coincidence that a full moon rises just when the Sun sets because the Sun is always on the opposite side of the sky from a full moon. The featured video was made two years ago during the full Milk Moon. The video is not time-lapse -- this was really how fast the Moon was setting. Free Video Lectures: Introductory Astronomy

Please let me be.
Leave me alone.
Don't come to visit.
Don't even phone.
I choose not to talk
But be by myself,
A loner I am,
So I was told,
From the days of my youth
even now that I'm old.

This writing craft;
I love it well,
but at this time,
It's a living Hell.
My brain is bereft
of new words to write.
If there is grey matter left,
will cause me to mumble
but not to cry,
for I need some answers,
If I am to try
to keep writing this drivel,
by focusing on thee,
not what is now
worrying me.

He rode hard, down this trail of love.
A lifetime, a journey
Blessed from above.
Through canyons of sorrow
And much misery
To the happiest hills,
He would ever see.
For the love of family,
That he would cherish forever.
Dear God, please let it be.

A wonderful day.
A sleepless night,
We'll get through this
And all will be right.

The joy of the garden,
Where I love to be
Is starting to get the
Best of me.
My hands ache now
And also my knee
For once I get down,
It's hard to get up
Without some company.
Oh I love to look
At the beautiful flowers,
But right now
I'd like some rainy showers.
