I'm lost in thought.
Could it soon be
a new type invasion
in my old reverie?
"Who cares?" was said
by someone looking like thee,
for no one from here
would come out to see,
if the words you wrote,
were no longer to be.
Gone from here, now
beyond the vast Sea.

I have noticed,
I'm sleeping much longer,
then I did before,
the previous time.
I'm also spending
more than an hour
of early morning time
writing down these
words, so they'll rhyme.
It isn't healthy
and is not very fine,
to try to write now,
another rambling line.
Do you think I am crazy,
or just a bit daft?
As I am mentally alone
on my personal life raft.

There is always a moment,
when I can find the time
and will pour from a bottle
my next glass of wine,
for the wonderful new taste
of the God's nectar devine.

A drop of moisture,
slid down my face,
beside my nose.
A sad moment, perhaps
or a suppressed emotional time?
It matters not. I don't care,
my emotions have broken,
my skin and burst from
my eyes. Does it matter?
Yes, it matters to me.
If you don't understand,
it's OK, too, for I am
the one whose emotions,
may lose control of the
moment and when I do,
you will be who I trust,
to prove my soul true.

A handful of powerful companies control the majority market share of almost 80% of dozens of grocery items bought regularly by ordinary Americans, new analysis reveals.

A joint investigation by the Guardian and Food and Water Watch found that consumer choice is largely an illusion – despite supermarket shelves and fridges brimming with different brands. Read Full Article

If a kitten meows,
when in the Mews,
does the owl hoot
and still say who?
If a horse, says neigh,
while the cow says moo
and the pig says oink,
unlike me and you.
If a ewe bleats, baa,
as most of them do,
why does a chicken cluck
when a rooster crows,
why does a crow, caw?
No one knows.
When a duck quacks loudly,
is it because its nose,
is part of its beak?
When a goat starts to bleat,
startling the goose, who honks,
I'm not sure what to say,
when the doves start to coo.
We all make sounds, unique,
so what sounds are common for you?

Wherever you go,
wherever there's air,
I will be with you,
no time for despair.

The love you seek,
is mine to give.
It will cost nothing,
if you will live.

Live a long, safe
and a healthy life.
Use all time,
be still, my wife.

I love you more;
every day with you,
if you leave me,
what will I do?

Stay here beside me,
cling to me tight,
I will be here
for you, every night.

Can you love another,
as if she is your mother?
Someone I know, younger than I
gives me cookies, cake
and other food stuff.
She gives me no reason
for her words are few.
I sometimes feel like an adopted child
and my thoughts are very mild.
It's not romantic, in anyway,
but the way I am treated; I'll say
"Love the attention, at any age,
especially when treated
like an ancient, old Sage.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Chaotic in appearance, these tangled filaments of shocked, glowing gas are spread across planet Earth's sky toward the constellation of Cygnus as part of the Veil Nebula. The Veil Nebula itself is a large supernova remnant, an expanding cloud born of the death explosion of a massive star. Light from the original supernova explosion likely reached Earth over 5,000 years ago. The glowing filaments are really more like long ripples in a sheet seen almost edge on, remarkably well separated into the glow of ionized hydrogen atoms shown in blue and oxygen in red hues. Also known as the Cygnus Loop and cataloged as NGC 6979, the Veil Nebula now spans about 6 times the diameter of the full Moon. The length of the wisp corresponds to about 30 light years, given its estimated distance of 2,400 light years. Often identified as Pickering's Triangle for a director of Harvard College Observatory, it is also named for its discoverer, astronomer Williamina Fleming, as Fleming's Triangular Wisp.
