“There’s always that thing we’re obsessed about That turns our minds constantly roaming to learn Commanding attention over everything else Restless and longing for knowledge we burn . . .”
I’ve only seen a crazy night sky twice in my life, once when I was 13 atop Mt. Lafayette in New Hampshire, and another at the Tenney Mountain Ski resort when it was shut down for the summer years ago out with a friend and his dad to check out comet Hale-Bopp with his dad’s telescope. Both were a long, long time ago. I need to do it again stat. Even when I went camping in my 20s, I never saw night skies like that.
Woooo that's beautiful
Thank you. I’m always glad when anyone enjoys these poems.
When I was in Big Sky Montana, I forgot to look up at night and see the sky. I regret it to this day.
Go back and take a look!
I'd love to, but I'm on the east coast now and my traveling days are pretty much over.
Beautiful and I do miss those days of old without all the light pollution. I think it makes us cranky lol. Just saying
Thanks Judith. I’m glad you enjoyed this poem.

"when torches couldn’t burn the night sky"
Good days.
"I’ve only seen a crazy night sky twice in my life"
Look, some stuff happened, it was a long time ago, why can't you just let it go?

Happy New Year!
