Great description of the sun and moon coming in opposite directions. Beautiful haiku, dear Tom. I can't see the image.

Thank you very much Valsa, I've noticed from time to time images just seem to vanish from my page, it happens to others too. I'll see if I an find another. Hope your week is going well. Tom
