Flowers will bloom,
in early Spring.
Oh, the joys,
warm days will bring.

Daffodils will raise
their trumpet high,
as Spring comes,
making a floral sky.

Tulips will be next,
when they grow,
putting on a,
Spring floral show.

Wounds to the soul.
Those who others cannot see.
Not an easy spot to be in,
when questions asked thoughtlessly.

They can't help it, is what I hear.
Explanation not good enough for me.
It has been the same person,
who is probing, incessantly.

Sorry my friend,
I know not what to say,
except, "leave us alone"
and for thee I'll pray.

Please understand,
when I'm writing alone,
It's not aways about me,
which I wish to discuss,
it's about others,
who get in a rush.

It becomes obvious to others
and quite obvious to me.
Please give me some time,
is now my earnest plea.

A withered rose,
it's life now spent,
after struggling,
when grown in cement.

Look at me.
How pretty I was.
Now here I am,
once pretty, now dust.

In the Bistro,
having a quaff.
TV on, someone said,
"I prefer it OFF."

A black screen,
who would you thank,
if your favorite screen,
would be blank.

Not I, said one,
with a big grin
as vodka dripped
from his tan chin.

My love
has been gone,
four weeks, today.
I am alone.

I miss your sweet smile,
for you were the one,
who captured my heart,
my soul to the Sun.

Why do I worry,
now you've gone away?
Your no longer here,
while here I must stay.

Please guide me
in this new life of mine,
while I will remember
our memories entwine.

It was dark,
it was night,
I couldn't see,
until daylight.

Why should I,
come home with you?
What's on your mind?
What do we do?

Silver laced snow,
fell from afar.
Its journey, through space,
from a new fallen star.

What a wild journey,
to arrive where you are.
A mysterious time,
for you were a Star.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

What do the Earth and Moon look like from beyond the Moon? Although frequently photographed together, the familiar duo was captured with this unusual perspective in late 2022 by the robotic Orion spacecraft of NASA's Artemis I mission as it looped around Earth's most massive satellite and looked back toward its home world. Since our Earth is about four times the diameter of the Moon, the satellite’s seemingly large size was caused by the capsule being closer to the smaller body. Artemis II, the next launch in NASA’s Artemis series, is currently scheduled to take people around the Moon in 2025, while Artemis III is planned to return humans to lunar surface in late 2026. Last week, JAXA's robotic SLIM spacecraft, launched from Japan, landed on the Moon and released two hopping rovers. Explore Your Universe: Random APOD Generator

A Rose,
solo flower.
sprang forth
from a
crack, in
the pavement.
A lovely break,
or Nature's way
of mystery.
