Two treatments for the inspiration (see below)


spinning, spinning in
pirouette I dance delight
eddy, spiral, play

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
eddying, spiraling, in perfect control
I dance the heavens in flight

in harmony, in ecstasy
a prism's display tonight

an iris, a cacophony of color
I spread a vision of delight

come play with me in heaven's field
we'll pirouette, Sweet Sprite.


The above pair were inspired by:

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

I used to like to star gaze with a friend ... These days, if it's not found on the TV or the Internet, I seldom see it.

The moon and the stars are very inspiring...something mysterious about them.

Another beauty Virginia.

Thanks, you two, for popping in and reading.

I star gaze every dark time that I take the dog out. Can't quite see as well as on the apod site though. Still love both opportunities. This particular view made me feel like dancing, much the same way as I did as a kid when spring weather hit the neighborhood.  I'd pirouette around the playground or any grassy realm. Both situations so very exhilarating!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
