Catch a Falling Star

For love may come and tap you on the shoulder some starless night
Just in case you feel you want to hold her
You’ll have a pocketful of starlight

– ‘Catch a Falling Star’ by Paul Vance and Lee Pockriss

Eclipse

I stood in the cold on the porch 
And could not think of anything so perfect 
As man’s hope of light in the face of darkness. 

 – ‘The Eclipse’ by Richard Eberhart

If you have been around for a while, you know my fascination for lights. The other night it started raining and I took a stroll for some pictures. But I couldn’t figure out how to keep the camera dry and yet click pictures (if you have an idea, do tell me). Feeling absolutely miserable I returned home. That’s when a faint blue glow caught my attention. Yes, that blue glow in the picture. Any guesses what it could be? 🙂

The Light and The Plant

A Sensitive Plant in a garden grew,
And the young winds fed it with silver dew,
And it opened its fan-like leaves to the light.
And closed them beneath the kisses of Night.

– Percy Bysshe Shelley, The Sensitive Plant
