Tomorrow

Tomorrow,
the day,
where our life
will change.
When she moves
to a Memory care,
facility.
No more the wife,
when I go to bed.
No one to greet me
at earliest light.
A visit to her,
every day,
at her new home,
where she will stay.
A lifetime of stories,
will soon go away,
as I search for a life,
in this messy array.
Thanking you all for
the assurance given.
I must find something,
if I am to keep living.

Old are the Days

Old are the days,
I am long in the tooth.
Age is the topic
of a misspent youth.

Look at your calendar,
count down the days.
How long have you
been stuck in this maze?

Taking two steps forward,
with three steps back,
you're losing momentum,
which is a fact.

We must make progress,
in this our lifetime.
Be the best solution,
and your life will entwine.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

You may have seen Orion's belt before -- but not like this. The three bright stars across this image are, from left to right, Mintaka, Alnilam, and Alnitak: the iconic belt stars of Orion. The rest of the stars in the frame have been digitally removed to highlight the surrounding clouds of glowing gas and dark dust. Some of these clouds have intriguing shapes, including the Horsehead and Flame Nebulas, both near Alnitak on the lower right. This deep image, taken last month from the Marathon Skypark and Observatory in Marathon, Texas, USA, spans about 5 degrees, required about 20 hours of exposure, and was processed to reveal the gas and dust that we would really see if we were much closer. The famous Orion Nebula is off to the upper right of this colorful field. The entire region lies only about 1,500 light-years distant and so is one of the closest and best studied star formation nurseries known.
