“Keep on watching the skies, you may end up in a surprise!” Gun Roswell







From tiniest of crescent
To the fullest of size
Each time a perfect present
But never quite, a surprise
“Pretty, pale, pleasing, the many faces of the moon I am facing, while staring into the night skies” Gun Roswell


The fullest of moons
In the night sky of the suburban hood
The followers about to swoon
Of the rarest form of morphia
The moon’s pale light
Shining upon them with delight
All them smiles
Something so rare and wild!
“The sun is setting, and painting the skies all in shades of red, rather picturesque!” Gun Roswell




The evening sky painted red
Unfortunately it was time for bed
But chose to go out instead
And admire the colourful display
Mother nature had sprayed
From her can of colourful paint
Snapped a few pix
Just for the kicks
Before the nightly eclipse

“The sunsets are very early in the afternoon, if you are lucky enough to catch one at all” Gun Roswell
The Winter and the Sunset
It seemed only a few hours ago, that the sun had started rising, in the low horizon, and then it was already almost gone. But luckily I was able the catch the last rays glowing in reds as the setting of the sun was a few hours only after the lunch break in the afternoon, thinking that’s was way too soon as I had hardly caught a glimpse of it all day, making the mood much like dismay, even if the lighter colours on the outside because of the snow were all still shining bright. But the sun is something to be adored no matter how many times it feels like a chore and talking about it sometimes like a bore, the same old story of the setting sun, the images captured pretty much all done. But I say it is not, and keep on the lookout for the bright globe of fire, whenever it emerges from its slumber, lighting up our dull grey days, and keep on snapping those pictures high and low, whenever the rise or set is on the flow, and a few words here and there in honour of the star so mighty, as without it there really is no surviving.


“The setting sun, is engulfing the sky, painting it red, on the fly, not even trying to hide, blinding those who dare to pry“ Gun Roswell
Hiding behind the setting sun
The red colour the first clue, that of the sun setting for sure
There was no place to hide, from the sun’s light, not even at this stage of its existence before the day’s resistance became too much and as such, the sun needed to go, at least, for the night
There was really no fight, apart from the one final display of power
The skies glowing bright red instead, no hiding from any of it
And then, after the scene, the display most powerful, the sun was gone in an instance
Leaving those small creatures, trying to hide from the show, but only to be able to bow
In front of the magnificence of the celestial body in awe
And soon after night fell, the hiding places plentiful
Need for sure as without light, shining the land brightly
There was no security, for the critters small until dawn
Disappearing one and all, into their lairs familiar
Making sure never to question or doubt, the mighty sun and its dome
The eternal giver of light, warmth, security and in the end the daily show
“The moon is setting, making way for the rising sun, if you are letting it, but perhaps try time to stall” Gun Roswell
The setting moon
The moon will be gone, for a moment at least, while the sun rises, but hey, it’s all good, as the glowing dusty ball, will be right back there again when the night starts to fall, and then, once again, basking under the moonlit sky, with a heavy hearted sigh, is possible for the short while, the sun is gone, until the next morn’, when the same cycle will be starting all over again.
“The sun is setting also in the middle of the winter, even if it has not been up that long, but yeah, when shining so totally strong, it has to set “ Gun Roswell
Sun setting in the winter afternoon
The day is finally done, and also so gone soon will be, way to soon it seems, the sun who dared to bare its rays in the midst of the winter season, just because without any kind of reason, but for the benefit of those dwelling in the darkness for so long, and needed to get a boost of something totally strong to be able to last until this long winter time had passed and before the beginning of the spring would arrive and then only would the darkness be gone for so long, until the next scheduled dark time would emerge. But on this day a surge, of sunny rays appeared from out of nowhere unexpected, but not rejected as the light of it all, was giving brand new hope for the weary and then, watching the last of the fading light, going into that good night, with a new sense of self to last for a little while longer until the last of the dark days were a tale to tell in the middle of the light filled days and nights of summer time.
“That golden moment, reflected, in the windows, in the afternoon light – looks like we live in the golden city!” Gun Roswell
A golden moment arrived
The windows reflecting the light
As the afternoon’s sun is still bright
Colouring all the surfaces with gold hue
Completely irradiating the feeling of blue
A lyrical moment for the mundane grey
The feeling of dull quickly fading away
As the tall towers and the low windows
Make us believe in fairy tales and wonders
Our city now the golden one
Before the illusion comes undone
And we are back to the mundane vision
Of dull surfaces needing revision
“The shining moon high up in the sky, but just a crescent one at this time” Gun Roswell
Above, Below
The moon slowly emerged from behind
A soft and fluffy set of white clouds, shining
Ever so brightly, despite of mostly hiding
Its space battered round body, dividing
Thus from us seeing only the best part
For this night so very long and dark
So, following the brightly lit path
Would be the choice to be made so smart
The street light may be turned on
But their light is not so very strong
The only way to make it across
Is to trust the moon light, our nightly boss
