It was so long ago,
I can't recall,
if it was Winter, Spring
Summer or Fall.
I do remember, now,
love was the game.
Your wide eyed, flashing look,
the color blue,
created a deep longing, when
looking at you.
Your smile was radiant
with your teeth so bright.
I would swear, you would
guide my path tonight.
The words, coming from the
ink and this pen,
keeps scribing down facts
of when love began.
The strength you give me,
will never end,
for you are a most
cherished friend.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

South is up in this detailed telescopic view across the Moon's rugged southern highlands. Captured on July 20, the lunar landscape features the Moon's young and old, the large craters Tycho and Clavius. About 100 million years young, Tycho is the sharp-walled 85 kilometer diameter crater near center, its 2 kilometer tall central peak in bright sunlight and dark shadow. Debris ejected during the impact that created Tycho still make it the stand out lunar crater when the Moon is near full, producing a highly visible radiating system of light streaks, bright rays that extend across much of the lunar near side. In fact, some of the material collected at the Apollo 17 landing site, about 2,000 kilometers away, likely originated from the Tycho impact. One of the oldest and largest craters on the Moon's near side, 225 kilometer diameter Clavius is due south (above) of Tycho. Clavius crater's own ray system resulting from its original impact event would have faded long ago. The old crater's worn walls and smooth floor are now overlayed by smaller craters from impacts that occurred after Clavius was formed. Observations by the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) published in 2020 found water at Clavius. Of course both young Tycho and old Clavius craters are lunar locations in the science fiction epic 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Ever the morning,
always the night,
ever the moment,
always sun light,
ever the rain drops,
always the dew,
ever the exitement,
always the few,
ever the wonder,
always it's you.
