Closer to the end of it all, by Joey Friday
I was closer than I've ever been
Searching, beholding
I wished to be closer to a feeling of bliss
Enchantment, rushing
Times like these seem to go on past the honeymoon period
Delicate, Blessed
However, I feel as if I am too tired to relive those moments
Despondent, forgetful
It seems like such a waste of my time
(Pic called Moon on the Mullica, by Jerry Lodriguss)
Explanation: Still waters mimic a predawn sky along the eastern horizon in this peaceful scene.
The picture was recorded on May 22nd from the banks of the Mullica River, in a forested region known as the
Pine Barrens of southern New Jersey on the US east coast. Near the horizon at the left is an
old Moon with its narrow, sunlit crescent.
Mars is near picture center and brilliant
Venus shines farther right. Like the terrestrial lights along the riverbank, the bright celestial beacons are
all reflected in the watery foreground. Of course, most of the Moon is illuminated
by Earthshine, light reflected from the
sunlit side of planet Earth itself, revealing features on the darkened lunar surface.
