Expressions
.

I love to watch and see

The expressions in the sky

From the wond’rous beauty of the sunrise,

Hear the morning chorus sing,

To the peace and calm of evening

As the twitters fade and die;

The sun descends from heaven

And takes with him the light

So we can sleep at peace

Throughout the night.

DANCING WITH THE MOON

Dancing with the Moon

Spring

Spring

Spring

.

Life stirs after winter’s death,

Its long, cold sleep thru the snow and sleet,

Bare twigs and dead sticks

Tingle with awakening

And new life shows its nose

Gingerly testing before resurrecting;

A time of marvels and miracles

Where life lives and death dies

Under lightening skies.

Black Velvet *New

.

In the black velvet night

Stars look ultra bright

No moon in the sky

Just you and I

Stand

Hand-in-hand

Under the canopy of light

Facing t’wards the east

Waiting

For the first rays of the sun

A new day has begun

A new world still to come

.

Must have been a ‘bug’ – Sorry!

Night

.

Silence is broken

Torn open

By the hoot

Of a solitary owl

And the quarter moon

Exposed

Unclothed

Slides

Tries to hide

Behind a cloud

In the sky

LIGHT

  

!

Light

Bright

Clear

As a tear

Rain-washed sky

Clouds scudding by

Radiant sunshine

Splashes its way

Into a brand new day

Star Surround

 

*

On a moonless night,

With only stars for light,

The view at the lake

Was great – make no mistake!

*

From the stars overhead

To the stars at my feet,

Reflected in the deep,

I stood alone in star-filled space!

Drifting

Drifting

drifting with the wind
across the desert floor

drifting with the current
to the ocean shore

drifting in the air
uncertain where to go

is like drifting through life
to end up in skid row

A skid row or skid road is a run-down or dilapidated urban area with a large, impoverished population. The term originally referred literally to a path along which workingmen skidded logs.

Evening Star

Sidey’s Weekend Theme

Evening Star

Venus, goddess of love and beauty
Shining brightly in the evening sky
Masquerade to the human eye

Venus is the second planet from the Sun, orbiting it every 224.7 Earth days. The planet is named after Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty. After the Moon, it is the brightest natural object in the night sky, reaching an apparent magnitude of −4.6, bright enough to cast shadows. Because Venus is an inferior planet from Earth, it never appears to venture far from the Sun: its elongation reaches a maximum of 47.8°. Venus reaches its maximum brightness shortly before sunrise or shortly after sunset, for which reason it has been known as the Morning Star or Evening Star.

What a Beautiful Day

Pollution in the Air

What a Beautiful Day

What perfect weather:
Warm days, cool nights
And clear skies,
Not a cloud to be seen.
What a beautiful day,
But the sky is grey.

What a lovely scene:
The sea is blue,
The grass is green,
Fish frolic, birds sing.
What a beautiful day,
But the sky is grey.
