Words, again fly
from my brain.
Is it too late,
did I miss the train?

Write about topics, current
and the words used today,
sometimes aren't apparent,
meanings can run away.

Crazy are the words,
spilling from my head.
Always a worry, they may be
words I shouldn't spread.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

What's happening in the night sky? To help find out, telescopes all over the globe will be pointing into deep space. Investigations will include trying to understand the early universe, finding and tracking Earth-menacing asteroids, searching for planets that might contain extra-terrestrial life, and monitoring stars to help better understand our Sun. The featured composite includes foreground and background images taken in April from a mountaintop on La Palma island in the Canary Islands of Spain. Pictured, several telescopes from the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory are shown in front of a dark night sky. Telescopes in the foreground include, left to right, Magic 1, Galileo, Magic 2, Gran Canarian, and LST. Sky highlights in the background include the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy, the constellations of Sagittarius, Ophiuchus and Scorpius, the red-glowing Eagle and Lagoon Nebulas, and the stars Alrami and Antares. Due to observatories like this, humanity has understood more about our night sky in the past 100 years than ever before in all of human history.

Slanting rays of topaz,
floating through the air,
promises salvation,
removing the despair.

I visited you today, as you
slept in your chair.
I was there for three hours,
you weren't aware.

I've discovered walking
in a crowd,
can be dangerous,
and very loud.

Walking at airports,
no one follows the rules.
Walking on both sides,
one direction, breaks rules.

When walking unattended,
without my cane,
a simple fall
means a lot of pain.

I must keep walking,
as long as I can.
If I'm confined to a chair
I'll be less than a man.

I know that's not true,
I certainly do.
I know how I feel,
uncertain about you.
