From darkest night,
at last, it came,
a Spring breeze,
with warming rain.

Will you stay with me,
when I sigh,
awaiting the day,
I say goodbye?

Throughout the day,
into the night,
we risk our lives,
without a fight.

She wore a yellow scarf,
not a bandana, as they say.
Listening to her voice,
you won't leave, you'll stay.

When looking into her eyes,
I am struck, with a blank stare.
Understanding now,
she is no longer aware

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

How far out will humanity explore? If this video's fusion of real space imagery and fictional space visualizations is on the right track, then at least the Solar System. Some of the video's wondrous sequences depict future humans drifting through the rings of Saturn, exploring Jupiter from a nearby spacecraft, and jumping off a high cliff in the low gravity of a moon of Uranus. Although no one can know the future, wandering and exploring beyond boundaries -- both physical and intellectual -- is part of the human spirit and has frequently served humanity well in the past.

I cringe when I hear the word,
absurd.
Absurdity,
will be the death of me.

Should words collide,
when we try to write
and words mean nothing,
if they're not right?

If you spell,
words this way,
remembering letter silence,
especially the letter "J".

I hope to see you,
on the morrow,
sparing you,
my pitiful sorrow.

I miss you,
in the morning,
when you are away,
and pray to see you,
again, when you smile.

Where are you, my friend?
Did you run away,
to where it began?
If you return, please stay.

When you choose
to live life, this way,
remember it is a choice,
you make every day.

Sitting here, for meditation,
with a few others and me.
I have been called a loner,
reviewing my thoughts of thee.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

On March 23 early evening skygazers could watch Venus and a young crescent moon, both near the western horizon. On that date Earth's brilliant evening star, faint lunar night side and slender sunlit crescent were captured in this telephoto skyscape posing alongside a church tower from Danta di Cadore, Dolomiti, Italy. Of course the subtle lunar illumination is earthshine, earthlight reflected from the Moon's night side. A description of earthshine, in terms of sunlight reflected by Earth's oceans illuminating the Moon's dark surface, was written over 500 years ago by Leonardo da Vinci. On March 24, from some locations the Moon could be seen to occult or pass in front of Venus. Around the planet tonight, a waxing lunar crescent will appear near the Pleiades star cluster.

I write in verse,
a sing, song sound.
Music to me,
was lost, now found.
