Sunday 160 - Pierced

A sliver pierced my eye 
but I felt only admiration. 
There was beauty and awe not pain. 
I reached out through the blackness 
unable to remove the celestial curve.

You took the deep route this week, I see. Whenever you strive to reach the moon and miss, keep trying. Eventually you'll get there!

Here's mine. Thanks for hosting.

This one is different MM!
Yes, the moon does look different ever since it hit us at the nearest orbital point! Or is it my imagination?
