How was I too know
The match that I was lighting
Was bound to explode
I couldn't have known
Pure alcohol to a flame,
is bound to cause a change
lts fun while it burns
But the clean ups where it turns
Its usually just a phase,
a phase we out grow
It had me dancing to the music only I could hear the tune
But life ruined it
by asking me to grow
How was I to know
It's better on the other side
Set fire to make it grow
Sent from my Galaxy

The Conceptual Planet: Into Outer Space-Micah's Story
Days blend and continue on undisturbed for the most part. There is a lot of waiting in between workouts and eating. There is one repair we are working on. Other than the repair it's all monitoring and stand by. Monotony feels more tirtiring than his workouts and work. Days ends come around and sleep is attempted. We all are adjusting and have interacted minimally so far. We seem humbled by our surroundings and task. Sutton is the crew member easiest to be around. Today passes uneventfully. Sleep comes after counting to around 89. Probably out of boredom and a desire to stop counting.

The Dolphins Came to Say Hello
Dolphins passing by A wonderful view to see Peace and harmony. [Author's note: I was on a roll this morning with impromptu Haikus. Frost my Red rose and then, as I sat on the balcony having my cup of tea with my two little buddies, a small school of dolphins came passing by. They chase the herring which are running at the moment.]
