Moon-rise lightens mood
In midst of winter’s black heart
Happy? Go, Lucky!

Brilliant jewel
Slips beyond reach, out of sight
Earth spins to find her

On the Moon
On the Moon
Light from the Sun falls
Then reflects on Earth, on us
We share this magic
.
n.b. Where ever we are, whoever we are, we share the same Moonlight, the same Sun – we are in this together.

On Time and Space
Earth circles and spins
Calendar turns to new year
Nothing as before
.
n.b. In some respects we are back at the beginning, but this is not so. This solar system has been moving through the Universe whilst our blue planet has rotated on its axis and circumnavigated the Sun. We are at a place we have not been before and we will never return. The saying, “Never go back” is spurious advice; we cannot as “back” no longer exists. Forward is all there is.

See how fast the new year goes? It is already the 3rd day.

Stars light years away
Illuminate our night sky
Blind to our being
.
n.b. Our year, the circuit of this planet around our star in 365 days is unique to our situation in this solar system, if not the Universe. When we look out into space it is awe-inspiring to consider that vastness and our tiny place within it. Happy new year fellow travellers.

Nothing Matters (V)
Beyond planets; stars.
Beautiful lights of heaven
What carries you on?
.
n.b. The space between stars is nothing but nothing. The Interstellar Medium (ISM) or Interstellar Space is a soup of gases; nothing is what it seems.
