Astronomy

Milk ed Maidens in garb of headdress band.

Soaked in milk and butters cream.

Come back to me, fall back...

pecks of what ifs.
Just to keep them pacified
'til I could grow some balls and climb
the cold cliffs of courage. ...

Observance

carefully in their old age;
on the horizon youthful mountains

Wherever we go... here, there, high and low
Through sundials of time, places and circumstances
As changes sweep through our intricate lives,
The gift of nature tr...
