I stopped when I saw colour
splashing on his face,
and I turned my gaze
up at the night sky
to the aurora borealis
shimmering above us.
Vibrant blue shifting
to brilliant violet light
illuminated the
ether in winding arcs.
Stars glimmered
like diamonds in the
indigo sky as pulsating
hues washed across the
night sky in luscious waves.
“It’s amazing”, I whispered.
I stared up in awe at the
dazzling colours dancing
across the clear night sky.

The stars a  scatter
of diamonds overhead
joyful nudged her eyes

Mars continues its retrograde
motion towards Saturn,
as Jupiter moves slowly towards
the southern predawn sky.
A thin waxing crescent Moon
joins Mercury and Venus
in the western sky at dusk.
The bright stars Deneb and Altair
lie east as Mars and Saturn
rise early in the morning sky.
The Sun marches across the sky,
its centre crosses Earth’s Equator.
The Equinox heralds a changing
of the seasons-Spring
in the Northern Hemisphere,
Autumn in the South.
A magnificent celestial alignment it is.
At the house of Mercy, the cool
evening breeze blows silently,
leaving a slight chill in the air
as the Heavens open up to serenade
the arrival of the Piscean twins.
How majestic is March 20th, 2018!

As dawn began to approach,
I felt wide awake, a little blurred.
The kerosene lamps had gone out,
leaving the large entrance glowing dimly
I let out a heavy sigh.
Another day, another penny

In the childlike mind
A tiger cub is a friend
Nature’s family

Crows cawed in the dark
Wooly socks and pajamas
Winter is coming
