Thursday Trivia

For some strange reason I started watching Jaws last night…I mean, it’s not like I haven’t seen the movie a dozen times…I guess I was just in a weird mood…

After it was over, I decided to do a bit of Googling, and learned something pretty astonishing…Most sharks live 20 to 30 years in the wild, but some species can live far longer. At the extreme end of the longevity scale are Greenland sharks, which can live at least 270 years, making them the longest-lived vertebrates (backboned animals) in existence!

Hope your day is a good one!

The Andalucian Sun

Incarnadine sunrise

skies turbid with ebon clouds

quiet, before the pending storm

here, I have found myself

Your presence is felt

not seen

you stand in the shadows

watching me

I close my eyes

imagine your touch

I feel the warmth of you

or is it from the sun

It matters not

you are my empyrean

Snow Fall

From the Heavens snow falls gently

on this cold December day

And the snowflakes form a blanket

as on the frozen ground they lay

The crispness that is in the air

you can almost smell

And it chills the tiny sparrows

in the treetops where they dwell

I wrap my sweater tight around me

pick up a fallen glove

And I wish for a ray of sunlight

To peek through the clouds above

A shiver runs right through me

my heart is longing to be warmed

As winter dazzles me with brilliance

and the earth becomes transformed…
