Suns

And lovers

How much depends
on the timing of a tear
in the fabric of wing?

How much on the drip
of wax?

How much on the hunger
of an eye, craving reunion
with the nearest star.

Author: Stacey C. Johnson

I keep watch and listen, mostly in dark places.

  2. thomasstigwikman – Dallas, Texas – My name is Thomas Wikman. I am a software/robotics engineer with a background in physics. I am currently retired. I took early retirement. I am a dog lover, and especially a Leonberger lover, a home brewer, craft beer enthusiast, I’m learning French, and I am an avid reader. I live in Dallas, Texas, but I am originally from Sweden. I am married to Claudia, and we have three children. I have two blogs. The first feature the crazy adventures of our Leonberger Le Bronco von der Löwenhöhle as well as information on Leonbergers. The second blog, superfactful, feature information and facts I think are very interesting. With this blog I would like to create a list of facts that are accepted as true among the experts of the field and yet disputed amongst the public or highly surprising. These facts are special and in lieu of a better word I call them super-facts.

    That is a beautiful and ponderous poem and the athmospheric picture goes well with it.
