Here we are,
the end of April.
Another month,
burnt; ended.

How fast the
months pass by.
Another month,
on its way, to try.

To be warmer,
yet, it's still June.
One shouldn't
speak too soon.

Oh, the life I've led.
There will be no tomorrow.
No more the shedding of tears,
as I wade through the sorrow.

Would I, be the one,
who died, went away,
arising from the ashes,
to again live and play.

Wish not,
for your desire,
lest others
bring eternal fire.

Would you walk
with me, at day's end,
for I am lonely now
and need a friend.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Although its colors may be subtle, Saturn's moon Helene is an enigma in any light. The moon was imaged in unprecedented detail in 2012 as the robotic Cassini spacecraft orbiting Saturn swooped to within a single Earth diameter of the diminutive moon. Although conventional craters and hills appear, the above image also shows terrain that appears unusually smooth and streaked. Planetary astronomers are inspecting these detailed images of Helene to glean clues about the origin and evolution of the 30-km across floating iceberg. Helene is also unusual because it circles Saturn just ahead of the large moon Dione, making it one of only four known Saturnian moons to occupy a gravitational well known as a stable Lagrange point.

How much anguish,
will it take?
How much crying,
will it take?
How many broken hearts,
will it take,
before this emotional issue,
will break?

Light and shadow,
an awkward pair,
if used at night,
becoming unaware.

I have lost her,
It's what I fear.
She is quieter,
when I'm near.

The Phoenix rose,
from ashes cold,
after self-destructing,
as Fables told.

Resurrection, anew of
a life consumed by fire,
in a self-built
funeral pyre.

Once again, he lives,
to help those in need.
An act of love,
or a fulfilled deed?

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Along a narrow path that mostly avoided landfall, the shadow of the New Moon raced across planet Earth's southern hemisphere on April 20 to create a rare annular-total or hybrid solar eclipse. From the Indian Ocean off the coast of western Australia, ship-borne eclipse chasers were able to witness 62 seconds of totality though while anchored near the centerline of the total eclipse track. This ship-borne image of the eclipse captures the active Sun's magnificent outer atmosphere or solar corona streaming into space. A composite of 11 exposures ranging from 1/2000 to 1/2 second, it records an extended range of brightness to follow details of the corona not quite visible to the eye during the total eclipse phase. Of course eclipses tend to come in pairs. On May 5, the next Full Moon will just miss the dark inner part of Earth's shadow in a penumbral lunar eclipse.

My mind is blocked,
confusion does reign,
when I no longer,
can feel the pain.

The pain of losing,
someone, so dear,
as I see her own
memories disappear.
