Changing Seasons
Seasons will come and will go,
Changing from one to another,
Always viewed from the window.
Warmth and heat always follow,
Quickly summer seems to shutter,
Seasons will come and will go.
Autumn I spend near the oxbow,
Leaves fall and dance and flutter,
Always viewed from the window.
Winter delivers a powerful blow,
With snow and ice it passes much slower,
Seasons will come and will go.
Winter passes with a lingering afterglow,
Where spring give a break to summer,
Always viewed from the window.
Four in all they smoothly flow,
Each different from the other.
Seasons will come and will go,
Always viewed from the window.

Through An Eyepiece
I set my sights over the fence,
The black expanse so vast and dense.
Where galaxies of gas and dust reside,
And nearby stars, impossible to hide.
I bow down my view, down on one knee,
To see the sea of eternity.
Several stars with magnitude shine,
And I spy four moons all in a line.
Planets of different color and texture,
They float past; a magnificent feature.
Constellations both left and right,
Of these with pen and paper I write.
Dwarfs and giants both appear bright,
So bright, they almost blind my sight.
Black holes eat light that cannot escape,
Countless nebulae of every size and shape.
Comets fly fast and asteroids spin round,
A beautiful symphony without any sound.
