"The blue planet lights..."


.

NASA's Blue Marble by Goddard Photo and Video Blog.




The blue planet lights
up in valediction
quivering
The sun shoots
high out over
the Pacific to the west
When it goes
down into the cold water
at night it lights up the under
side of the cirro
cumulus with bands of pink that go
over into gold saffron
and rose against
the great deepening blue

    once again
    down we go
    into the starless night

    ... but then, here comes SarahA, reminding us we should always be dancing with the waves... now, can Spring be far behind?
