Day gives in to night
Crimson hues paint the sky
A kiss from Heaven

Rain pours
Thunder pounds
Light races time
Rippling streams wash over

You are the sun
Shinning down on me 
You are the rain 
Falling on my skin
You are the wind 
Whispering in my ears

When I was girl
Many a moon and season
Love was fairy tales 

A challenge at best
Yet fun to frolic with love
A season to create
Masterpieces from within
Patiently waiting for fun

Released from my heart and soul
A forget me not of phrases
Combinations of my words
Poetry in life

Cancer is the sign
Zodiac born into being
Moods captured with words

Trusting the tide
Water is my element
A part of my soul

Crabs shelter their home
Hard top shell, soft heart below
Sensitive I am

Twelve months in the year
Horoscopes all around us
Cancer is my sign

Who is that staring back at me
Go away on the count of three
Do I know who you are
Can I wish upon a star
Questions of who I should be

Not just demons do I fight
Thoughts drift easily through the night
Myself against me 
Trying to break free
To do what I know is right

Excitement bubbles throughout the air
Delighted to see so many there
A chance to meet three 
Passionate like me
Welcoming sweethearts who believe that's rare


Inspired by three individuals who have welcomed me to Poetry Soup with open arms, 
love and support, thank-you for everything.

Where we hail home, our native land
The sun rises in the east
Our harsh winters here
Make the sun impossible to beam

Come winter's end 
When everyone emerges
To welcome in the spring
The sunrise is brilliant 

From one extreme to the next
Through winter's cold 
And spring's stare
My sunrise is to remember

I thought of many an animal
Wondering who I would be
A cat, a dog, a goldfish
A rabbit, a pet maybe

The more I thought
Of which animal to be
A master of her elements
Skillful, wild and free

A Lioness is proud, strong and sure
She's pure of heart
Relentless in her role as mother
Her cubs, never will she part

If I was an animal what would I be? Contest

I
Roger Deane at a South African college
And team, caught our singularity
The black hole, so Einsteins Relativity
Does not apply here, physics' knowledge

II
Amazing that at the center of our Milky Way
There is so much outside of usual gravity
Space-time, if a fabric, has massive debris
One of these swallows all light, passers by!

NOTE: I like to think of black Holes as great recyclers & cleaners. That found in our Galaxy is named Sagittarius star...
