    a long walk
    arguing with someone
    who isn't there

    __Well sensed Elisa; drawn, stepping toward that lure of something… no longer there. _m

    ear echos
    hovered words of memory
    dusty paces

    As there is a new dead star sending out a heartbeat right now, catch the new Nature article, this packs extra power now!

    warm regards,
    Alan

    Hey Alan, Thank you for this interesting information! I was mesmerized by the NASA Webb’s telescope recent photos. Who knows we might catch up the becoming of a dead star?

    river of stars–
    I wave both hello & goodbye
    to one blinking

    Alan, your haiku sent me into a melancholy state. How fleeting our life is and at the same time how precious! Thank you and wish you a wonderful day.

    I’ve been thinking of the enormity of what the Webb Telescope has been teaching us. Thank you, Elisa. I feel that also 🙏
