I Hear
• 10/28/22 at 04:34AM •I hear the words rattle
inside my head.
No escape for the moment,
but just instead,
I'll write words tomorrow,
they may be read.

She rose from the mist
covering the pond.
A whisp of heavy air,
starting long,
rising slowly,
from a Fall breeze.
Chills in the air,
shaking of knees,
afraid was I,
needing to run.
There I stood
rooted, as if a tree,
knowing something
was coming.
Coming for me.
Life is good,
but is it fair?
Do we know,
or even care?
NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:
On October 25th, Sun and New Moon set together as seen from Agra, India. Their close conjunction near the western horizon, a partial solar eclipse, was captured in this elevated view in hazy skies near the solitary dome of the Taj Mahal. Of course, the partial solar eclipse was also seen from most of Europe, northern Africa, the Middle East, and western parts of Asia. This eclipse was the last of two solar eclipses (both partial eclipses) in 2022. But the next Full Moon will slide through planet Earth's shadow on November 7/8, in a total lunar eclipse.

Wind shaped dunes,
roar of the surf,
wait for me.
Smell the salt air,
hear the birds sing,
when the wind blows
the sand will sting.
Pelicans swiftly pass
over the shore,
the cry of the gulls,
are gone, no more.
I am five foot four,
is what she said,
when just standing,
not in my bed.
What's the point,
I asked of she.
No point at all
just let me be.
Tall was my goal,
can't you see,
I wanted to be tall.
Taller than thee.
When I am old
and can no longer roam,
will you place me
in a family home?

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:
When does a nebula look like a comet? In this crowded starfield, covering over two degrees within the high flying constellation of the Swan (Cygnus), the eye is drawn to the Cocoon Nebula. A compact star forming region, the cosmic Cocoon punctuates a nebula bright in emission and reflection on the left, with a long trail of interstellar dust clouds to the right, making the entire complex appear a bit like a comet. Cataloged as IC 5146, the central bright head of the nebula spans about 10 light years, while the dark dusty tail spans nearly 100 light years. Both are located about 2,500 light years away. The bright star near the bright nebula's center, likely only a few hundred thousand years old, supplies power to the nebular glow as it helps clear out a cavity in the molecular cloud's star forming dust and gas. The long dusty filaments of the tail, although dark in this visible light image, are themselves hiding stars in the process of formation, stars that can be seen at infrared wavelengths.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:
Jupiter and its moons move like our Sun and its planets. Similarly, Jupiter spins while its moons circle around. Jupiter’s rotation can be observed by tracking circulating dark belts and light zones. The Great Red Spot, the largest storm known, rotates to become visible after about 15 seconds in the 48-second time lapse video. The video is a compilation of shorts taken over several nights last month and combined into a digital recreation of how 24-continuous hours would appear. Jupiter's brightest moons always orbit in the plane of the planet's rotation, even as Earth’s spin makes the whole system appear to tilt. The moons Europa, Ganymede, and Io are all visible, with Europa's shadow appearing as the icy Galilean moon crosses Jupiter's disk. Jupiter remains near opposition this month, meaning that it is unusually bright, near to its closest to the Earth, and visible nearly all night long. Almost Hyperspace: Random APOD Generator

It came at night
to steal your Soul.
No second chance,
the evening ghoul.
The moon waxes
from high above,
what has happened
to our eternal love?
Time to move on,
I have been told.
Being in memory care,
has gotten quite old.
I need to separate
from my beloved,
as she moves further
into Dementia-Alzheimer.
